Even though I didn’t love Six Crimson Cranes and therefore never picked up The Dragon’s Promise, I knew I had to read this because I really liked Reikama in SCC. 
Channi experienced so much character development. From a happy toddler to a frightened yet inherently fierce girl , to a badass warrior and kingslayer to a grieving elegant lady one would never suspect to have such a past. Throughout the stages of her development she always combines opposites; a fierce heart and fears, a deep love for her sister and a profound loneliness. She is such a tragic but strong character, losing her mother, her father’s love, her face and thus the chance at a normal life, her sister and her potential lover and lastly, her old life and best friend. I adore her and am tempted to reread SCC to analyze her character there and see what clues I missed.
I may even have warmed up to snakes and was incredibly sad when Ukar and Channi had to part.
