⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Less than 5-word critique: exciting and magical.
“The Dragon’s Promise” is like a movie sequel that is just as good as the original. I myself enjoyed this more than its predecessor for reasons I don’t want to spoil. On an extra note, this duology would be perfect to see as a film or TV series,
After the events of “Six Crimson Cranes”, Princess Shiori must undergo some challenges that will test her on everything she knows and loves, including going to the kingdom of dragons and facing off demons once again.
Lim does it again with her brilliant and beautiful writing.
Excellent characters and character development.
World-building is more expansive than ever and never lets you feel confused. It is a soaring experience.
Recommended to those who enjoy:
*”Mulan”, “Dragonheart”, and “Raya and the Last Dragon” vibes
*Strong-willed female protagonist who will protect what she cares about
*Complex humans and creatures
*Action-packed sequences that makes you feel you’re watching a fantasy action movie
*Dragons
*Magic
*Family bonds
*Sweet romance with a lot of witty and adorable banter
Thank you so much NetGalley and Hodder & Stoughton for this copy. I really loved and enjoyed the story.
P.S. The cover artwork is awesome and beautiful. A lot of praise to the artists as well.
