For fans of fairy tales, Asian lore and seekers of that frustrating, don't know whether to kill or kiss kind of romance, this tale is for you!!!
Elizabeth Lim kicks off in the vein of Six crimson cranes, a deep, poignant tale of a young girl in search of her father, and the realms she crosses to find true love and a happy ending despite the odds beset in her way..
Tru is a bold, brash and blue haired heroine, fiesty and yet cognizant of the need to temper her feelings to achieve her true goals.. putting her to test is the elusive, enigmatic Elang and his sidekick demon Shani... talking turtles, mermen and all manner of mystical creatures frolicking in this homage to the con, the artistry and the bond that connects all the underdogs in a fairy tale!! The tale kept me hooked and I devoured it in a day.. the storyline, characters and plot are simply sublime and carry you on a whimsical journey with twists and turns to shake you out of any sense of predictability.
Elizabeth Lim, hats off to you, this story ranks among my best reads this year!! Well done!!
Thank you to Netgalley and Random House for the ARC!! This was an absolute treasure to receive!!!
