Fulfilled all of my expectations and then some. Six Crimson Cranes was one of my favorite reads from 2023, and this novel filled in a lot of the gaps and made Channi the most complex character in this entire series. It genuinely made me want to re-read Six Crimson Cranes all over again, knowing what this character went through before becoming Raikama.
Elizabeth Lim writes such a good balance of intriguing plot and complex character development. I've come to realize that I enjoy novels where stuff is actually happening, and not so much when the characters are doing a lot of navel-gazing. Her action scenes are so well-written and exciting and keep moving the book forward, thus making it really tough to put down at times.
