Six Crimson Cranes (Six Crimson Cranes #1) by Elizabeth Lim Book Review

Title:  Six Crimson Cranes Author:  Elizabeth Lim Publisher:  Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers Release Date:  July 6, 2021 Pages:  464 A princess in exile, the boy she left at the altar, six enchanted cranes, and a dragon from the deepest sea... From the author of  Spin the Dawn   comes a breathtakingly original fantasy inspired by East Asian folklore and perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo or Tomi Adeyemi. Shiori, the only princess of Kiata, has a secret. Forbidden magic runs through her veins. Normally she conceals it well, but 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. Raikama has dark magic of her own, and she 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.
