II think that was a well written book, with the world building and all the character development. I did really enjoy this book, it was a fun read. I really liked learning about Shiori's stepmother, why she was the person she is and also I love the paper airplane, Kiki. Literally SO cute and sassy I love Kiki and Kiki is SO funny! It was really interesting seeing how Shiori's brothers get turned into cranes by her stepmother, Raikama. I really liked Shiori's relationship with Takkan, I think they are so cute together! Tho I'm really interested in Seryu and wanted to see more of him in this book :( He's so funny and I'm really hoping we'll see him in the next one! The curse that Shiori had was frustrating because it was hard for her to communicate and also she can't make noises either so when she's in pain she has to try really hard not to speak since one of her brothers will die if she does so. The magic system is really interesting and I liked seeing how it worked. I LOVE Megari, she's so sweet! The ending gave me a different perspective on a character which Shiori kinda thought about but never acted on it... I think this book is a good introduction to the world and I am really interested in reading the next books.

A very cozy and simple read, beautifully written and full of adventure, twists, and magic. Lacking in description at times which made me feel like I missed information. I was in love with the writing and adventure for 35 out of the 40 chapters. After that I felt like some things were both a bit rushed and strung out longer than necessary.

I think this book has to grow on you! It has a relatively slow start, but I have never read a book with such an original take on the „chosen one“ Trope.

The worldbuilding, the characterarcs and the magic system are just insane and the story uses the found family trope in such a unique way!

This was a great first book and I’m excited for the rest of the series!!!

This book literally had me completely spellbound from the first page. Literally ran to order the sequel AND the authors book for a separate series. Like omfg. Yes it’s YA. Yes the pros is super easy to ready but god is it beautifully written AND the story!? Don’t get me started. I will not take slander about this book. If it was not for you that’s fine, but it was certainly for me. 😇
