3.5*
Very cool magic system, interesting world building, some nice beginnings for character development. Ending felt very rushed and with so few answers given..

Couldnt get into the plot of the book and get behind the characters. Didnt find it interesting to follow.

Ан Сей Лин ми разкри различен свят от всичко, което някога съм чела до сега. Магия като никоя друга и запомнящи се герои. Още една история в духа на японската култура, която имах щастието да прочета.
Историята, която Ан Сей Лин ни разказва е изпълнена с битки, предателства и тайни. Имаме враждуващи членове на императорското семейство в типично японски стил. Героинята преминава през редица опасности и разплита поредица от загадки, за да спаси най-добрият си приятел. В сюжета има от всичко по малко. Саможертви, вярност и предателства. Животът на Курара се оказва една голяма лъжа. Приятелят ѝ не е това, което си е мислила. Тя не е това, което трябва да бъде.

Кратко, но динамично. Светът е създаден с голямо въображение. От една страна имаме магичните шикигамита, а от друга летящи градове и небесни кораби. Беше ми много любопитно да чета за тези гигантски оригами и чувствам, че имам нужда да науча още. Има на къде да се доразвие светът, а и определено останаха мистерии, които не бяха разкрити в тази първа книга.

I enjoyed reading this book. The world building was awesome - I loved the whole concept of crafters and the paper/magical element. I think the storyline was well thought out, and the book ended in a way where I had to buy the next two in the trilogy, since I’m desperate to find out how it ends. The only thing that fell flat for me was the characters and character development. I wasn’t really attached to any of the characters, and I think it needed to go more in depth so that I felt more of a connection to them. Overall, I think the characters were quite surface level, however that might change in the next 2 books, so I’m excited to read them and see if my opinion changes. Overall, this was an enjoyable read with a really cool concept and world.

Ce roman est parfait à lire entre deux fantasy : il se lit vite, ne demande pas trop de réflexion pour comprendre l'intrigue et l'univers, mais embarque malgré tout le lecteur dans une belle aventure. 
Cependant, je ne me suis pas vraiment attachée aux personnages. Je trouve qu'ils étaient un peu superficiels, mais il s'agit d'un roman jeunesse/YA donc la profondeur des personnages n'est pas forcément le critère auquel je m'attache le plus. Mais j'ai trouvé Kurara un peu agaçante par moments : elle agit parfois sans réfléchir, ce qui la met elle, mais aussi ceux qui l'entourent dans des situations un peu délicates. 
J'ai aussi rapidement deviné un élément-clé de l'intrigue, mais il s'agit tout de même d'une belle découverte, accessible à un très large public, et je n'hésiterais pas à découvrir la suite.
