I could talk about how much I adore each of these characters until the end of time. Just like in my metaphor, as you continue reading Descendant of the Crane you begin to pick up on pieces of the characters, or fragments of the past, and by the time you get to the ending, you won’t be able to stop reading. And the piece of art in front of your eyes morphs into something that becomes even more precious. Observing the brush strokes, the pressure of the paint, the way the painting moves when you aren’t expecting it. At first you just see the elements you like and as you listen to the lecture, talking about the history, the artist, the materials, you begin to appreciate this painting even more. This book is like witnessing a piece of art. It’s books like Descendant of the Crane where I am just astonished and amazed at the sheer level of genius. Writingīecause these actions that propel the plot forward, that demand you keep reading, fold easily into the story.

And I think that’s just the testament to how brilliant of a writer He is. Just when you think you know someone, they end up doing something that completely shocks you, but it never seems out of character. They never cease to astonish us with their depth. Each one of them is multi-faceted and layered. Not only is the world that He writes so stunning and complex, but the characters is really where she shines. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)ĭescendant of the Crane left me speechless.

(Disclaimer: I received this free book from Edelweiss. With the future of her kingdom at stake, can Hesina find justice for her father? Or will the cost be too high? Review Using the information illicitly provided by the sooth, and uncertain if she can trust even her family, Hesina turns to Akira-a brilliant and alluring investigator who’s also a convicted criminal with secrets of his own. Determined to find her father’s killer, Hesina does something desperate: she engages the aid of a soothsayer-a treasonous act, punishable by death… because in Yan, magic was outlawed centuries ago. Princess Hesina of Yan has always been eager to shirk the responsibilities of the crown, but when her beloved father is murdered, she’s thrust into power, suddenly the queen of an unstable kingdom. It has been a long time since I read such a well written fantasy that just completely surpassed all of my expectations.

I have no words for how much I adored Descendant of the Crane.
