About this listen
A princess in exile. Six enchanted cranes. An unspeakable curse.
A beautiful and immersive YA fantasy retelling of the Grimm brothers' 'The Six Swans' fairytale, set in an East-Asian inspired world, by the author of Spin the Dawn.
Shiori'anma, the only princess of Kiata, has a secret. Forbidden magic runs in her veins. And on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control. At first, her mistake seems like a stroke of luck, forestalling the wedding she never wanted, but it also catches the attention of Raikama, her stepmother.
A sorceress in her own right, Raikama banishes the young princess, turning her brothers into cranes and warning Shiori that she must speak of it to no one: for with every word that escapes her lips, one of her brothers will die.
Penniless, voiceless and alone, Shiori searches for her brothers and uncovers a dark conspiracy to seize the throne. Only Shiori can set the kingdom to rights, but to do so she must place her trust in a paper bird, a mercurial dragon and the very boy she fought so hard not to marry. And she must embrace the magic she's been taught all her life to contain - no matter what it costs.

I want to love this book
There are so many things about this book that I love. The writing, the narration, the mythology, the characters, the setting but the story gets so dragging around 2/3 of the book and it really stalled all my interest. There was a lot of “this again?” “Why?!” “Of course she is unlucky AGAIN”. At one point where the main character was this close to dying I was like “maybe it’s better for everyone if we end the suffering here”. I might read the second book but I need a break.

Great story! Wonderful narration
I knew this story would deliver in terms of immaculate world-building with lush mythology, easy-going writing that expertly tells intriguing legends, and strong characters who are worth rooting for. As anticipated, this is a really well-rounded story that lives up to expectations on every front.

DNF - for now
I really like the characters, and the story. I just can't get into the writing though, i don't know why. I started this months ago and haven't been able to finish it, just lost motivation. Its a beautiful story, but the writing feels distant somehow. I want to try listening again in the future.
