📚 It’s National Read a Book Day! What are you currently reading?? Happy Tuesday, fellow Bookworms … It’s officially National Read a Book Day! (Not to be confused with the recent National Book Lovers Day.) 🥰 I love any day that we can celebrate books… though that’s basically every day for us, right? 🥰 Are you spending today with a good book? My plan is to finish up my reread of *Six Crimson Cranes* today, and then start *The Dragon’s Promise* after that. It should definitely be a good reading day. ❤️ What about you guys? What are you reading today?? 🍁 🍂 🍁 🍂 🍁 🍂 #AlltheBooksSep22 #MyFictionalMusings #CourtofReadingSep22 #ReadingintheWeb 🍁 🍂 🍁 🍂 🍁 🍂 #readabook #readabookday #sixcrimsoncranes #thedragonspromise #newbook #currentlyreading #amreading #yabooks #yabookstagram #yafantasy #fantasybook #bookstagram #bookstack #bookshelf #readinglife #bookobsessed #readinglife #booksaremagic #becauseofreading #booksofinstagram #bookobsessed #reading #books #booklovers #bookcommunity #readmore #bookphoto #ilovebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CiKU1bbOc3p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍂 Have you purchased any new books or bookish things recently? If so, what did you get? We’ve made it to Wednesday, Bookworms … are you guys having a good week? Are you, like me, ready for the weekend? 😂 Today is my day off and I have no plans to leave the house at all. Hopefully I can catch up on some things I’m behind on. 🥰 Have you purchased any new books or bookish things recently? I have added a few new books to my collection recently. Two were the US and UK versions of *The Dragon’s Promise*, pictured above. The books are absolutely gorgeous, and I had to have both to complete my collection. I’m halfway through the book now and I am absolutely loving it. 🥰 I’ve also stress bought a few random books for my Halloween TBR, and I’m very excited to get started on those next month. 🥰 What about you guys? What books or bookish things have you purchased recently?? 🍂 🍁 🍂 🍁 🍂 🍁 #AlltheBooksSep22 #MyFictionalMusings #CourtofReadingSep22 #ReadingintheWeb 🍁 🍂 🍁 🍂 🍁 🍂 #elizabethlim #sixcrimsoncranes #thedragonspromise #newbook #currentlyreading #amreading #tbr #toberead #yabooks #yafantasy #fantasybooks #yabookstagram #bookstagram #bookstack #bookshelf #readerlife #bookobessed #booklover #booksaremagic #booksofinstagram #reading #books #bookcommunity #readmore #bookphoto #ilovebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cie910zuPoy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 ✨✨NEW RELEASE✨✨ The Dragon’s Promise, by Elizabeth Lim, continues immediately where Six Crimson Cranes left off and wastes no time launching Shiori into her new quest. The concluding book of this duology increases the action and danger as Shiori seeks to fulfill the promise she made to her stepmother. The narrative is broken up into subplots, each with their own conflict and resolution. Six Crimson Cranes did this in a similar manner but the divisions stand out more in The Dragon’s Promise. I think this is because the first book, while it has different settings, all takes place within the Kingdom of Kiata. The second book shifts between three different kingdoms - Ai’Long the dragon realm, Kiata, and the Tambu Isles. The story felt as if it was divided into distinct acts with dramatic set changes. I loved the time spent in the dragon kingdom. Lim impressively creates a new underwater fantasy world that is vivid and engrossing. Tambu is another new kingdom - lush, tropical, and full of magic. But Tambu isn’t as immersive a world as Ai’Long. The worldbuilding here is more superficial, as the focus is rightly placed on the climactic showdown. In the books quieter moments, Shiori wrestles with her destiny as Kiata’s “bloodsake.” Her bond with Takkan, her betrothed, also strengthens, but their romantic encounters don’t move beyond kissing. The Dragon’s Promise takes the first book and amps up the action - more dragons, more demons, gods and goddesses, murderous priestesses, and scheming politicians. Readers who enjoyed Six Crimson Cranes will not be disappointed with the sequel. ❓QOTD: Do you read YA books?
