Et un livre du 12 months 12 books challenge en plus. Et surtout l’édition française et magnifique. Alors je me disais que le résumé spoilai pas mal, mais j’étais loin de m’attendre à ce qui m’attendais. J’ai beaucoup beaucoup aimé, l’histoire ce lit extrêmement bien, la plume et fluide, on a des surprises et en plus le personnage principal évolue. Bref c’était top. Encore un bon livre. Hâte d’avoir la suite

First of all, how beautiful is this cover?

I really enjoyed this book. It was a slow start for me but, when the story really started to gain traction I got completely addicted. Great world building, amazing scenarios, character with such a rich and interesting background - these are the things we can enjoy when reading this book. I love Shiori strength, the way that she overcame everything that was thrown in her way. Even when everything was hopeless.

I can't wait for the next book!

This book really reminded me of the movie BRAVE (Disney)
It's definitely its own thing, but it is weirdly similar on the bases of it's exciting insidient.

If you liked Brave, you will LOVE Six Chrimson Crains.

I love that I didn't read the back of the book, cuz some of my favorite plot points that grabbed me by surprise were greatly spoiled on the back of the book.

So please, just read the first page to see if you'd like the book

Cant really think of anything other than five stars to give this gem of a novel. It's so rich in culture and character, with a beautiful coming of age story built into it. Lim does an excellent job of articulating Shiyori's growth, her dedication to her family and her joyous strength.

I really like this book! The premise is fun and the characters are likeable. Shiori never read as a "not like other girls" which happens a lot for YA protags I feel, but she was fun! I liked the brothers too even though I was afraid I wouldn't and they would drag the story down.

The story kept me on my toes and I was trying to figure out what was going on with Shiori it was fun! Some stuff felt a little too fast-paced (especially towards the end) but I will withold my final thoughts on pacing until I read the 2nd book. Some ends felt a little too quickly and neatly tied up, but I understand handwaving some of that stuff so the book isn't too dark.

Maybe spoilers, I didn't really like the Wolf and felt everything regarding them felt a little thrown together?
