Six Crimson Cranes
by Elizabeth Lim
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 stars
Six Crimson Cranes is the first book in a brand-new series. We meet Shiori, a princess in exile, a shapeshifting dragon, six enchanted cranes and a curse that needs to be broken to save everyone.
I’ve been waiting for this book to be published for forever. Ever since I knew this book was coming, I’ve been waiting and it didn’t disappoint once I finally dived into the story!
The worldbuilding is just beautiful and the way of storytelling is super engaging and it made reading this book so exciting. All the magic and mythical creatures and folklore brought to life in this world were just amazing.
The characters are truly exceptionally written. Shiori starts out as outgoing, adventurous and rebellious but after she’s cursed, she truly grows so much in dept and character. It’s amazing to see how she grows into herself and matures as everything that happens to her. She’s so much more than the self-centered princess she started out as. I loved how sarcastic Seryu was, how sweet and understanding Takkan was and how the villains, as Raikama, are depicted in this story.
I loved the relationships shows in this story. Shiori and Takkan grew closer as the story progressed from friends to something more. I loved seeing how their connection grew and expended. The relationship Shiori has with her brothers is also truly beautiful to read. The sibling bond they have warmed my heart and their love is beautiful and unconditional.
The ending was truly surprising and I loved how everything was wrapped up in this book. It makes me so exciting for the sequel! I was also super surprised when I saw a familiar name. Some aspects in the story, like the enchanters, were similar to the Spin the Dawn world, and when a name from Spin the Dawn world popped up, it made me super excited to discover how the story will continue and how the two series relate.
Overall, I immensely enjoyed reading this story. It is truly delightful and dazzling and I can’t wait to delve more into the world and the characters in coming books!
