Shiori’s brothers are great as well and the cast of characters overall is SUPERB. I loved being with Shiori as she goes through the journey, seeing how she deals with every new obstacle thrown her way and watching her grow into this amazing person that I adore.
Separated from her brothers, who have been turned into cranes, Shiori is cursed, unable to speak without deadly consequences and with no one able to know who she is. This sets her and her brothers on their journeys.
Shiori has magic in a kingdom where magic is forbidden, she tries to keep it hidden but is one day discovered using it by her stepmother. This is working up so much and there’s so much to build toward. Pacing in this is slower, but it needs to be. Even though each book is distinctive, her writing style is always flawless for me. Lim’s writing style is beautiful and flowing, I think it’s one of the reasons I keep enjoying her books so much. She starts out rather sheltered and so she has a lot of room to grow in this tale. I LOVED the character development of our MC Shiori in this. I love the tale of The Wild Swans and was excited for a retelling, especially one that looked as amazing as this one.
The Blood of Stars duology is one of my favorites and so I had high hopes for this one, and I was not disappointed. I’ll have to preface this by saying I am biased. Shiori, the only princess of Kiata, has a secret.
