I don't remember the last time a book made me cry, but Elizabeth Lim broke my stoic streak.

Everything about this story was lush and oozing with magic. Dragons, a Ghibli-esque setting, Shiori's loyal paper bird, the curse her stepmother put on her and her brothers, the budding romance, everything was perfect. The plot twists were spectacular, too. I was enchanted from the start.

The beautiful cover was also a bonus point.

I'm so stoked for the sequel!
