À propos de cette écoute

A princess in exile. Six enchanted cranes. An unspeakable curse.

A beautiful and immersive YA fantasy retelling of the Grimm brothers' 'The Six Swans' fairytale, set in an East-Asian inspired world, by the author of Spin the Dawn.

Shiori'anma, the only princess of Kiata, has a secret. Forbidden magic runs in her veins. And on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control. At first, her mistake seems like a stroke of luck, forestalling the wedding she never wanted, but it also catches the attention of Raikama, her stepmother.

A sorceress in her own right, Raikama banishes the young princess, turning her brothers into cranes and warning Shiori that she must speak of it to no one: for with every word that escapes her lips, one of her brothers will die.

Penniless, voiceless and alone, Shiori searches for her brothers and uncovers a dark conspiracy to seize the throne. Only Shiori can set the kingdom to rights, but to do so she must place her trust in a paper bird, a mercurial dragon and the very boy she fought so hard not to marry. And she must embrace the magic she's been taught all her life to contain - no matter what it costs.

    The story seems based on a classic tale known in Europe as the 12 swans by Andersen but seems also to be a far east legend with similar plot line, but with cranes instead of swans, with wonderful elements of Asian myths. I loved this book and devoured it like a most delicious cookie for heart and mind. Nice plot twists and the way characters evolve is well written. and funnily enough, i felt like the author about some things I would have like to change from the classical version (yet which I also love, like many Andersen tales, for their great heart and heroins), to make it more interesting and logical, and it was nice to see how well she handled it and that we felt the same way about things. People's feelings are well developed and don't feel rushed. It should be suitable for sensitive readers as violence is scarce and not detailed.

    A great reworking of the tale
