The Dragon's Promise (Six Crimson Cranes) Hardcover – August 30, 2022

I already read this book digitally and it's so good I just had to get the hardcover for it. That is how much I love this book! If you're into fantasy and magic then getting this book is a no-brainer. Seeing the character development of Shiori, the pacing, writing style and world-building is simply amazing. From the 1st book to the 2nd book. There is never a dull moment.

Rating 4/5⭐I really enjoyed Six Crimson Cranes so when I went to glance through some reviews for this one, I noticed a lot of mixed feelings, which made me apprehensive to jump into this one. But jump I did, and I'm not mad about it. This picks up right where Six Crimson Cranes left off and I felt it continued the overall story beautifully.The writing is just as good, the overall feel of the book is in the same vein, and we get more of the world, more magic, intriguing new characters & new environments. Now, fair warning, there is a bit of a love triangle to it, but we all knew it was leading to that. Ultimately, things are handled very maturely all around. No real lashing out at all, no huge drama, so it didn't really bother me.I enjoyed how the story played out and recommend checking this one out if you liked the first one. Don't be scared off by the bad reviews as it's worth the time it took to read it.

Excellent sequel and storytelling

Excellent book

I picked up this book right after the first book of Six Crimson Cranes, I loved her journey in the first book, her relationship with her brother's and the love that slowly build between her and Takkan. I really wanted to love this but it was kind of all over the place almost like the author wanted to smash action and romance and magic with different stories and different characters. In the end it just fell flat for me which was so disappointing being that I love the first book so much.I wanted more of Seyru and Gen, I felt such a disconnect in this sequel. Still I give it 3 stars because I still had some fun reading this.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked seeing Gen. I loved the family dynamics. Satisfying conclusion.

I got the first book as a birthday present and loved it, so I had to buy the second one. I bought the hard cover and it was so pretty. Elizabeth Linn is an amazing writer and want to read more of her books!! I love fantasy and stories about magic and adventure. This book is an easy read and it keeps you in your toes. I finished this book in a week. Highly recommend.

So for starters the sequel was a lot better in my opinion, the building of the dragon world and their realm was phenomenal and well described. How it helps to close one side of the story without completely make a nonsense of the plot. How it helps to show how much Shiori cares and loves Takkan.I do enjoy how Shiori and Takkan relationships shows a lot more of growths and blossoms , how they learn to relay in each other and trust their love is enough. Definitely will recommended to anyone that ask , this was a very entertaining adventure with lots of romance and high stakes.
