I didn’t enjoy the first book, but I thought the sequel would be more interesting because hello, an underwater kingdom with a dragon prince??? Sign me up! But the matter-of-fact, telling instead of showing writing style didn’t change. Shiori just feels like a blank slate or a generic character to me. Seryu and her don’t act like friends to me either.

The covers for this series are startingly beautiful, but I wished I could’ve enjoyed the series more.

Six Crimson Cranes review ( )
  DestDest | Nov 28, 2023 |
I picked up this book right after the first book of Six Crimson Cranes, I loved her journey in the first book, her relationship with her brother's and the love that slowly build between her and Takkan. I really wanted to love this but it was kind of all over the place almost like the author wanted to smash action and romance and magic with different stories and different characters. In the end it just fell flat for me which was so disappointing being that I love the first book so much.
I wanted more of Seyru and Gen, I felt such a disconnect in this sequel. ( )

An excellent sequel! And the story is wrapped up beautifully! ( )

*3.5 stars*

I so adored 6CC but the sequel didn't live up to the first.
Part of the issue lies squarely in the first third i.e. the Dragons arc. It was too long and fell very flat. I had no sense of danger which was strange. The story picked up by half and finished strongly thankfully. ( )

I actually bought this book at first because of the beautiful cover but ended up having to go back to get six crimson cranes when I realised this wasn’t the first book haha.
This duology genuinely felt like a fairytale fantasy and I just adored it so much. I do wish we had gotten more of seryu in this book but I understand why we didn’t (he’s still one of my favourite characters though). I really loved how shiori has these bonds with literally everyone and how they come out in these stories. Although takkan really just stole my heart, there could be no better match for her. He is so sweet and just really dreamy and adorable. SPOILER: I also love how it didn’t end with everything being alright even after she got seriously hurt, but the way they fixed it by using the legend of Imurinya and her going to the moon for two seasons just totally gives you the fairytale feels. I will probably be thinking about this duology for a while… ( )
