This was so, so good. I loved Elang and Tru so much. They were funny together and positively perfect. This story was compared to Beauty and the Beast and sometimes when stories do that, the man is never really a monster but in this one, he was! I really enjoyed all the talk about painting too. Tru being able to trap a dragon in a scroll is legendary. I'm also wondering if the Lim is going to write a story about the Eight Immortals one day. All of her stories have been linked in some small way thus far and what the Queen of the merfolk said made it seem like there was going to be another story there but who knows!! Overall a truly fantastic read and I can't wait for her next one!

It started off strong in Gansun, but when they went underwater, it felt so slow all of a sudden. A bit predictable, but I felt kinda teary at the end with the yearning. Tru, I could not be as patient as you.

It was cute that Elang had met Tru years earlier in different disguises,

but their romance should've been written out more bc it felt lacking.

Maybe I'll feel inclined to read six crimson cranes to see more of the world?
