About the Author

Ann Sei Lin is a writer, librarian, and book nerd with a love for all things fantasy. Though London is now her home, she spent several years in Chiba, Japan, living in a rickety apartment block next to a rail station where the rush of the midnight train would make the walls shake. When not writing, she is often studying, gaming, or trying to make that origami rabbit for the one hundredth time.

5 stars! Some of the absolute best fantasy out there. It’s origami magic with the most picturesque and yet terrifying settings. I’d give a lot of money to be able to do even 2 of the cool things Kurara can do. Ann Sei Lin has such a way with fantasy and worldbuilding that you’re instantly transported to her exquisite world.

It steps into the void of books aimed at 12-15 year olds. It is full of an epic adventure through the world.

This is a beautifully imagined world. This writer is very talented. This book was interesting, exploring themes of morality, slavery and the responsibility of power. The Japanese culture is as vivid and intriguing as it was in the last book. The characters are interesting and the plot is twisty. [...] This author has so much offer and I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
