Six Crimson Cranes (Six Crimson Cranes, #1)

Six Crimson Cranes is the book you reach for when you want to disappear into a fairy tale that feels genuinely new. Lim weaves East Asian folklore with Wild Swans energy into something vivid and propulsive - Shiori is stubborn and brave and deeply lovable, and Takkan writing her poetry while she cannot speak a single word back to him is the kind of quiet ache that stays with you. Read it curled up somewhere cozy and clear your schedule because you will immediately need the sequel.
