“The things we held onto the hardest were the things we’d brought with us into this strange, broken world.”

“A Story Spun in Scarlet” by R. Dugan

A world where storytellers bear the burden of lost endings. Audra is a storyteller and the loss of her family and friends haunts her. Audra, attempting to forge a new path, finds herself entangled in a web of mystery and consequences. Audra is talked into telling a story one day and with the arrival of a mysterious man she finally ends a story causing the end of new the life she built. Jaik, the mysterious man, is thrown into Audra’s world, they are on the run to seek for the reason the world lost the endings.

Wow… just wow. This book might end up being the best book of the year. The concept immediately drew me into the story. The story was so full of world building and character development. Not only do the characters transform from their current characters to their characters before the loss of endings, but they also undergo a secondary character development as they strive to rectify the chaos they unintentionally caused. The layered character growth is a unique dimension that is uncommon in the books I’ve read before. The characters were perfect, Audra and Jaik relationship felt authentic. The map page was so nice, gotta love a good map page. The book was long and it strengths the book without adding unnecessary things. The ending was absolutely perfect as well. I gave it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars.
