The Dragon's Promise (Six Crimson Cranes)
In this sequel to New York Times bestselling, Six Crimson Cranes Shiori must journey to the kingdom of dragons, return a cursed pearl with the power to destroy the world, and fight to hold on to all that is dear to her. Fans of Shadow and Bone will devour this soaring fantasy from the acclaimed author of Spin the Dawn.
Princess Shiori made a deathbed promise to return the dragon's pearl to its rightful owner, but keeping that promise is more dangerous than she ever imagined.
She must journey to the kingdom of dragons, navigate political intrigue among humans and dragons alike, fend off thieves who covet the pearl for themselves and will go to any lengths to get it, all while cultivating the appearance of a perfect princess to dissuade those who would see her burned at the stake for the magic that runs in her blood.
The pearl itself is no ordinary cargo; it thrums with malevolent power, jumping to Shiori's aid one minute, and betraying her the next—threatening to shatter her family and sever the thread of fate that binds her to her true love, Takkan. It will take every ounce of strength Shiori can muster to defend the life and the love she's fought so hard to win.

At first, I was so confused becuase in the opening scenes we were already thrown into the book with little introductions as to who everyone is and what's happening. My mistake of course as I realised I had read the sequel FIRST.
Anyways, despite my dumb mistake, the plot made sense and the story was so easy to follow, you started to build a sense of who people were and where the story was headed. Honestly, the writing was so easy to follow and well-written, you could probably start with this as the first book and then go to the actual first book and it would still flow.
I loved the incorporation of Chinese mythology and culture. A wonderful break from westernised fantasy. The characters were so complex with such heavily developed backstories I could truly understand their reasonings for their actions.
Beautifully crafted book.
Shiori is a freaking beast! I love her so much! She’s not perfect but the mistakes she makes along the way only make her more determined to complete her journey! Kiki is back and the best side-kick! I love her character and how much she loves Shiori.
This book was non-stop adventure above and below the sea! I always love expansive worlds and this one did not disappoint. We got to see so many new places and Shiori spent a lot of time in the sky as well. It kept me on my toes the entire time. Dragon’s and Demon’s were also a fun part of this second adventure. We got to meet more of both and leaned a lot about Shiori's stepmothers past.
Family! I love how supportive Shiori’s brothers are of her. They don’t hesitate to help her when she needs them! I love how many characters accompany Shiori on her journey's. The cast of characters really help to shape this story. The ending was perfect!
I definitely recommend this YA fantasy duology.
