A princess in exile. Six enchanted cranes. An unspeakable curse. A beautiful and immersive YA fantasy retelling of the Grimm brothers' The Six Swans fairytale, set in an East-Asian inspired world, by the author of Spin the Dawn . ' A dazzling fairy tale full of breathtaking storytelling' Stephanie Garber, Sunday Times bestselling author of Caraval Shiori'anma, the only princess of Kiata, has a secret. Forbidden magic runs in her veins. And on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control. At first, her mistake seems like a stroke of luck, forestalling the wedding she never wanted, but it also catches the attention of Raikama, her stepmother. A sorceress in her own right, Raikama banishes the young princess, turning her brothers into cranes, and warning Shiori that she must speak of it to no one: for with every word that escapes her lips, one of her brothers will die. Penniless, voiceless, and alone, Shiori searches for her brothers, and uncovers a dark conspiracy to seize the throne. Only Shiori can set the kingdom to rights, but to do so she must place her trust in a paper bird, a mercurial dragon, and the very boy she fought so hard not to marry. And she must embrace the magic she's been taught all her life to contain - no matter what it costs. Praise for Six Crimson Cranes 'An unputdownable, sweeping fairytale that thrills as much as it delights' Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Kingdom of the Wicked 'This book is magic!' Kristin Cashore, New York Times bestselling author of Graceling 'A stunning remake of a fairytale' Chloe Gong, New York Times b estselling author of These Violent Delights 'This is a gem for all lovers of whimsical fantasy! ' Natasha Ngan, New York Times bestselling author of Girls of Paper and Fire Review: Once you pick it up, you can not put it down - I loved the characters personal developments throughout the story and the slow and steady pace of love. Review: Easy read. Poor paper quality - Fantasy novel, with curses, dragons, cranes, snakes, and all. It is surely for K-drama, C-drama fans. I liked everything but surely the love interest towards the protogonist from the dragon is not well put. Everything else is nice An easy read for sure. Poor paper quality.

Great product. Worst packaging!
Amazon should really work on the packaging of its products, specially books. Atleast do a bubble wrap, the edges were damaged because it was simply kept in an envelope!

Favourite Book of 2021
I started this book at 11pm and finished immediately the next day. It’s a book that is so hard to out down because you just want to know everything that happens. The world building, characters and overall storyline is so beautiful and breathtaking. I love how the author added so many elements of asian culture, food and theme in this book (which I rarely see in other books). It’s a book that I seriously cannot get over. The main story line is already amazing but the romance aspect of this book, although not the main focus, still had me so immersed and captivated. Every character is so likeable and enjoyable to read. Shiori, the only princess of Kiata is a fantastic character that has an amazing character development on her journey as she attempts to find her way to save her brothers. Her journey to trying to break the curse is one wild roller coaster. I cannot wait for the second book. Its a unique read that I recommend for those who enjoy - a strong female protagonist - good family dynamic/ relationship - fantasy - romance

Coup de coeur !
J'ai trop aimé 🫠 Genre la mythologie asiatique, l'univers, l'ambiance, les décors, les personnages, la romance (slow buuuuurn), les rebondissements, TOUT 😍 Bon, ya des choses qui étaient un peu prévisibles, et du coup, un peu agaçantes quand elles étaient révélées, mais ça m'a pas empêché de kiffer 👌 J'ai beaucoup aimé Shiori et que certaines choses n'étaient pas si évidentes, que les apparences étaient trompeuses ! Certaines scènes étaient très touchantes d'ailleurs 😢 Ya de l'action, l'univers est intéressant, l'intrigue est prenante, et du coup j'ai enchaîné direct sur le tome 2 👀

Gorgeous book!
The book is absolutely gorgeous. As ofcourse shown in the pictures. The font that the book has been written with is a bit big so it’s definitely an easy fast read. Haven’t read it myself yet.

Nie to czego oczekiwałam
Grzbiet pognieciony u dołu i u góry. Naprostowałam to na ile mogłam. Nie wiem czy na zdjęciach to widać, ale okładka (a raczej obwolutka) jest przetarta. Sam wygląd książki nie jest tym czego oczekiwałam. Widziałam na internecie tę książkę z rysunkiem pod obwolutką i wytłaczaną okładką oraz rysunkiem mapy w środku książki. Nic z tego tutaj nie ma. Nie wiem co to za wersja.
