This book was pretty good, the characters were very interesting. The plot was well paced. I enjoyed the stories the main characters would tell. I enjoyed the character developments. Overall it was great. I will so a more in depth review closer to release as to not give out any spoilers.

Here in a land buried under mist and forgotten history, we join as a hooded character steps on the small platform, dark eyes flash around the crowd, commanding attention. Their hands shake, just a little, not from nerves, but almost in preparation for what’s next. In the silence, a voice (that you seem to remember from a dream) whispers, deep and confident, “Let me tell you a story.”

A hum of power echoes through the room that sends shivers down my spine every time those words are uttered. A glimmer of hope appears to those who are listening.

A Story Spun in Scarlet is a book that everyone wishes they had written: lyrical writing, a labyrinthine plot, stakes of biblical proportion, and a main character that you want to fight for, because she’s just like you. This story is a call to the downtrodden, to the forgotten, to those wailing, to the empty, to the discarded — and tells you that you deserve to be believed in. Something in the quiet peace in which Jaik follows Addie and protects her, confirms this; his determination to show her that she is not what she can do for other people.

It is a tale of a desperate storyteller and speaks deeply into the love of craft that writers hold within themselves. The need to stay true to your craft is being shouted across the void; and it is what every aspiring writer needs to hear. And when a story speaks to the very bones of writers and creators and inspires them back to their craft? High praise of a book indeed.

✨️A Story Spun in Scarlet✨️ by @reneeduganwriting

Publication Date 8th March 2024

🌟My Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars, if I could give 10 I would!


✨️I have had the absolute honour of being granted early access to read this story and my god it blew me away. I am so grateful to have been accepted it has been a very long time since I have read a piece of work written as perfectly as this book.

Renee Dugan is a new author to me but has immediately reached the top of my favourite author list. Her writing style is beautiful, soulful and enchanting. I was gripped from the very first page. Her writing technique has the story coming to life right off of the page creating vivid, captivating images with every sentence, allowing you to submerge yourself into the story as if you were actually there yourself . I don't want to say too much to avoid giving spoilers but Renee is a real life storyteller. This story was absolute perfection and one I will enjoy re reading many times over.

Audra is one of the most reliable MC's I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know and the relationship development between her and Jaik was nothing short of beautiful. This story got me right in the emotional feels more than once in splendid ways.

A story that outlines the importance of stories and storytelling. Fans of inkheart and romantasy lovers worldwide would devour this book and everyone else should to.
