Thank you to Knopf Books for Young Readers and Elizabeth Lim for the e-arc of this book! As a massive fan of the Six Crimson Cranes duology, I could not believe I was granted an opportunity to read this before publication day! It delivered everything I needed and more. It swept me off my feet into A’landi and the underwater kingdom of Ailong, with brilliant side characters and gorgeous descriptions. The whole book; the characters, the settings, the foods, felt tangible from the beginning. Breathtakingly romantic with such a strong journey, A Forgery of Fate is a must read!!!
