Six Crimson Cranes (Six Crimson Cranes #1) by Elizabeth Lim is a fantasy romance retelling of (I'm guessing) Cinderella. The main character and protagonist is Shiori'anma, first daughter of Emperor Hanriyu and most favored Princess of Kiata--Kingdom of the Nine Eternal Courts and the Holy Mountains of Fortitude. Stuff happens, and Shiori and her six brothers get cursed by their stepmother, Raikama. Her brothers are now cranes, and if Shiori speaks a single word, one of them will die.

Disclaimer: Before I get to what I liked and I didn't like, I am aware that my opinions and tastes do not dictate how authors write their books.

I Liked
  • The anonymity the bowl on Shiori's head gave her (It gives me inspiration)
  • The idea of having a paper crane as a tiny buddy! (A.K.A. Kiki!) :D

I Didn't Like
  • The simplicity of some of the major antagonists as villains
  • The real story behind why Shiori's stepmother cursed her and her brothers. It felt too convenient for me.
