One thousand years ago, the great Kami Dragon was summoned to grant a single terrible wish--and the land of Iwagoto was plunged into an age of darkness and chaos. Now, for whoever holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers, a new wish will be granted. A new age is about to dawn. Raised by monks in the isolated Silent Winds temple, Yumeko has trained all her life to hide her yokai nature. Half kitsune, half human, her skill with illusion is matched only by her penchant for mischief. Until the day her home is burned to the ground, her adoptive family is brutally slain and she is forced to flee for her life with the temple's greatest treasure--one part of the ancient scroll. There are are many who would claim the dragon's wish for their own. Kage Tatsumi, a mysterious samurai of the Shadow Clan, is one such hunter, under orders to retrieve the scroll, at any cost. Fate brings Kage and Yumeko together. With a promise to lead him to the scroll, an uneasy alliance is formed, offering Yumeko her best hope for survival. But he seeks what she has hidden away, and her deception could ultimately tear them both apart. With an army of demons at her heels and the unlikeliest of allies at her side, Yumeko's secrets are more than a matter of life or death. They are the key to the fate of the world itself.… (lisätietoja)

*I gave this book 4.5 stars for review*

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I really loved the world building and also the fast pace adventure story off the novel. I loved how the book kept "finding" new characters for this adventure. I thought the myth and lore was such well crafted and I was super invested in this characters. This book was super easy to see in my mind and I had a hard time putting this novel down. I felt the ending was a tad rushed and wish she would have fleshed out the ending a bit more. Also some times through out the novel i was confused about who's POV we were in and wish that was structure was made clearer. but i am really excited for book 2! This was a really engaging read! ( )

A half-kitsune (fox) girl and a ninja with a demon-infused sword that wants to possess him, working together to find a magical scroll so a dragon can grant a wish??? This sounds amazing, right?

Unfortunately, I didn’t mesh with the storytelling. It was so DRY, man. At times, it felt info-dumpy or just bland. I don’t think this is any fault on the author, but this bare-bones-telling style is not for me. I didn’t connect with the characters emotionally. I was even skipping paragraphs because my interest kept waning. I also don’t see why this needed a dual pov. Yumeko’s pov was never all that interesting; it could’ve been relegated to a prologue. At least, Tatsumi’s struggle with darkness and his ruthless upbringing was better.

But I think the story took a turn in the right direction when Okame appeared. “Rough characters who are secretly decent deep down” are always endearing to me. This dude brought a little style to this blandness, but he did get annoying with his constant “filthy ronin dog” drivel. Like, sir shut up.

This started terribly slow and unseasoned to me but ended fine. While it is tempting to see how Yumeko and Tatsumi’s slow burn connection ends or Okame’s tragic backstory, I don’t know if I’ll continue with this series. My reading experience was too lackluster. ( )

Has EVERYTHING - adventure, supernatural happenings and creatures, great world building, and some interesting protagonists. On to book 2 (luckily my teen will share) ( )

I liked this one, Shadow of the Fox, based on Japanese mythology and legend. Those mythical foxes!

While the legends and myths and monsters might not be familiar, the sequencing of the plot (basically a "gathering of buddies on a world-saving quest" trope a la The Fellowship of the Ring, et. al.) made the story progression a bit predictable, yet enjoyable.

On to the second book in this series, Soul of the Sword! ( )
