Six Crimson Cranes is the story of Princess Shiori, who ends up cursed by her stepmother: no one will recognize her, and for every word she speaks, one of her brothers will die. Her brothers are also cursed, turned into cranes during the day. Penniless and voiceless, Shiori must find a way to break the curse and save them all while war seems to be breaking out around them.
I enjoyed Six Crimson Cranes. It's a really fun, fairytale-like story (it's clearly influenced by the Wild Swans). There's some fun world building involving dragons and demons. And the story ends up taking you in some unexpected directions, especially at the end. I'm looking forward to reading The Dragon's Promise, which concludes the tale!
