Project Runway meets Mulan in this sweeping fantasy about a teenage girl who poses as a boy to compete for the role of imperial tailor and embarks on an impossible journey to sew three magic dresses, from the sun, the moon, and the stars. And don't miss Elizabeth Lim's new novel, the instant New York Times bestseller, Six Crimson Cranes!
"All the cutthroat competition of a runway fashion reality show and the thrilling exploits of an epic quest." -The Washington Post
Maia Tamarin dreams of becoming the greatest tailor in the land, but as a girl, the best she can hope for is to marry well. When a royal messenger summons her ailing father, once a tailor of renown, to court, Maia makes the ultimate sacrifice and poses as a boy to take his place. She knows her life is forfeit if her secret is discovered, but she'll take that risk to achieve her dream and save her family from ruin. There's just one catch: Maia is one of twelve tailors in a cutthroat competition for the job.
Backstabbing and lies run rampant as the tailors compete in challenges to prove their artistry and skill. Maia's task is further complicated when she draws the attention of the court magician, Edan, whose piercing eyes seem to see straight through her disguise.
And nothing could have prepared her for the unthinkable final challenge: to sew three magic gowns for the emperor's reluctant bride-to-be, from the sun, the moon, and the stars. With this impossible task before her, she embarks on a journey to the far reaches of the kingdom, seeking the sun, the moon, and the stars, and finding more than she ever could have imagined.
Steeped in Chinese culture, sizzling with forbidden romance, and shimmering with magic, this fantasy novel is not to be missed.

„Project Runway meets Mulan“ was a very interesting teaser sentence in my opinion but I think it fits the book perfectly.
I enjoyed the writing style and the book had me hooked from the first sentence. I spend every free minute of the day reading it.
Personally, I like both covers because they fit the vibe of the story really good!
I liked the characters and cant wait to read more about Maia and her journey.
The plot was also really interesting and there wasn’t a minute of my reading time that felt boring.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a good YA Fantasy book with an interesting storyline, I think this book might be for you
I give 5 from 5 Stars
