One must fall for the other to rise. Channi was not born a monster. But when her own father offers her in sacrifice to the Demon Witch, she is forever changed. Cursed with a serpent's face, Channi is the exact opposite of her beautiful sister, Vanna-the only person in the village who looks at Channi and doesn't see a monster. The only person she loves and trusts. Now seventeen, Vanna is to be married off in a vulgar contest that will enrich the coffers of the village leaders. Only Channi, who's had to rely on her strength and cunning all these years, can defend her sister against the cruelest of the suitors. But in doing so, she becomes the target of his wrath - launching a grisly battle royale, a quest over land and sea, a romance between sworn enemies, and a choice that will strain Channi's heart to its breaking point.[Bokinfo].

Somehow, this book is better than the Six Crimson Cranes and the Dragon’s Promise. I loved every second of it, Channari was a beautifully written character with a lot of emotional depth. I feel like every plot point flowed smoothly from one thing to the next, and it wasn’t rushed either; Lim found the perfect pacing for this book. Despite knowing the outcome of the book, I was still interested in understanding and experiencing the story that led to the events in the Six Crimson Cranes. Elizabeth Lim, you have outdone yourself.

This broke my heart, stitched it back together again, then ripped it apart again before stomping on the pieces. Needless to say, I highly recommend it.

But do not ask me the reading order for these books because I can't tell you.

Thank you to Netgalley and Hodder & Stoughton for this eARC in exchange for a review.

While knowing the story behind this from the synopsis and having read Six Crimson Cranes duology, I still felt it was a little pointless in the beginning. Most of the start of this book was explained in the duology, and it didn't really add to the characters having it recited again.

However, as the story progressed, and we learnt more about Channari's journey and motivations, the full picture was weaved, and I came to appreciate her character so much more in-depth.

It's an incredible story about the love and devotion between sisters and how far someone is willing to go, what they will sacrifice, for the person they love most. It's a beautiful story with a heartwarming ending.

While it adds little to the duology, it is a fitting prequel that captures everything you would desire from it.
