Descendant of the Crane
by Joan He
Disclaimer: This review contain spoilers.
I had high expectations for this book and unfortunately I was a little disappointed. It wasn’t exactly bad, the story and the world it’s set in are pretty good (the former is a little boring at times) but to be honest I really dislike the main character. And again, she is not badly written, she just annoys me. The rest of the characters are fine, not all of them as people but as written characters.
The biggest offences are thou, on one hand the pacing, things happen very quickly and many important stuff happens of page and we are told it happened because the main character (whose point of view we follow for like 90% of the book) is knocked out. She does have tendency to get herself into situations that will eventually end up in it.
On the other hand we have the intent on part of the author to redeem of the “One”, I don’t mean for what he did long ago but what he did to Hesina. Because he wanted her to learn the lesson, how about you actually teach her when she was a kid and then explain the situation to her, like a responsible adult. In general the everyone in this book could work on their communications skills.
The thing I liked in this book though are the relationship between Mei and Sanjing and the romance between Akira and Hesina. Both were very well done.
And, even though the ending was very frustrating, a liked it in the end.
