A journey to the kingdom of dragons, a star-crossed love, and a cursed pearl with the power to mend the world or break it...Princess Shiori made a deathbed promise to return the dragon's pearl to its rightful owner, but keeping that promise is more dangerous than she ever imagined.She must journey to the kingdom of dragons, navigate political intrigue among humans and dragons alike, fend off thieves who covet the pearl for themselves and will go to any lengths to get it, all while cultivating the appearance of a perfect princess to dissuade those who would see her burned at the stake for the magic that runs in her blood.The pearl itself is no ordinary cargo; it thrums with malevolent power, jumping to Shiori's aid one minute, and betraying her the next—threatening to shatter her family and sever the thread of fate that binds her to her true love, Takkan. It will take every ounce of strength Shiori can muster to defend the life and the love she's fought so hard to win.

Rezension von Miinednf for me
Rezension von SusanI really don’t know where to start my review. I absolutely LOVED six crimson cranes, it is one of my top reads of 2022. This book however… I just don’t know. I loved seeing the relationship between Shiori and Takkan bloom, I absolutely enjoyed reading about Shiori getting closer with her brothers and of course the funniest paper bird of all, Kiki! But I do think it would’ve been better to compact this story a little more and merge it together with book 1 of this duology. I don’t feel like those 480 pages were necessary to tell the ending of Shiori’s story and because of that I was struggling to get through the last 150 or so pages. I also feel like the first 100 pages were nice but I wouldn’t have missed them if they weren’t there. I DO HOWEVER REALLY ENJOYED THE ENDING AND THE EPILOGE. So beautiful <3
