Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim
5.0
9.5/10
An immersive adventure in a magical world
Pros:
- I liked the magic systems. They were creative but rooted in asian fantasy (it felt like a manga but in book form)
- The characters were solid. I didn't love any of them but they were well written and likeable enough
- The romance was slow but clean and satisfying, which I love
- I liked how the character was limited by her voice
- The twist wasn't amazing or anything but sufficed
Cons:
- The communication between the MC and other characters, where they just knew what she was thinking based on her waving her hands around, felt a little unrealistic at times
- The main character isn't particularly different from other YA protagonists. She wasn't annoying, don't get me wrong, but I didn't find myself loving her or worrying about her well-being.
Overall: An excellent book, well written and with very few flaws, hence the high rating. I didn't fall in love with it but it was definitely an objectively good read.
