Hesina is a complex and morally-gray character (yay!). I don’t really have a reason, but maybe it’s because he’s so sure of himself at first and he’s extremely loyal to those he loves. I also have to say that although Sanjing doesn’t appear that often, he’s my favorite character. Their love is painfully unspoken, and it’s so real and familiar, especially as reflected in Asian cultures. I can’t stress enough how much I love Hesina and Sanjing, because they are related by blood, but they are both different and similar. The characters themselves and the relationships between them are wonderfully complex and beautiful. One of the things that impressed me the most was the relationships between characters. What I really think is remarkable is that this book was written when Joan He was a high schooler-I don’t think I could even think of anything like this. However, I really think Descendant of the Crane deserves it. I rarely ever give any book five stars, and this is even less frequent for YA books. Series: N/A (although it may have sequels in the future)
