Lim’s writing is absolutely gorgeous, conjuring up the atmosphere of a fairy tale as she weaves popular, well-known fairy tale elements into her story in refreshing, new ways. The Six Crimson Cranes duology blends East Asian mythology and culture with popular fairy tales to create a beautiful, romantic story with sweet romance, sibling bonds, magic, adventure, and, best of all, DRAGONS! Once I started, I was simply in Kiata for two days and had absolutely no desire to leave, thanks. Boy was I wrong about that, though! I sat down and read both books over the course of two days, because I just simply couldn’t put them down. I always thought the cover was gorgeous, but the story always felt like one that wasn’t quite for me. People have been recommending Six Crimson Cranes to me since it came out, basically, and I had reservations.
