Six Crimson Cranes

This has to be one of my favourite retellings. I quickly recognised which tale it was a spin on, as I'm quite familiar with it from my childhood. Normally books with less action don't leave a strong impression on me but this one was truly beautiful and I loved it. The book itself is also stunning and I'm so happy I have a physical copy. 

I absolutely adore Kiki. It was nice to see the love interest not be a jerk for a change. The evil stepmother trope was nicely subverted.

I'm so mad they got interrupted when they were about to kiss 😠

I couldn't really feel the bond between Shiori and her brothers. Hasho was the exception.
