Loooooved this book !! I listened to the audiobook ❤️❤️❤️ it read like an anime

I bought this book recently and i can't wait to get into it as i love Japan

I love anime and it was so easy for me to dive in this book. I love the shade towards SJMs heroines lol. Seriously I love Yumeko's quirky personality, doesnt feel pretentious and she isnt annoying.

Great review! I can't wait to read this one. I agree with what you said about the "damsel" trope. It sounds like it is believable here and not a major plot point or very out of character (cough... Heir of Fire 😂) so yay! I am going to read this one after Skyward for the buddy read!! Woo hoo

Love your enthusiasm and energy, Elliot! Great review as always :) Already ordered the trilogy!

Wow! Elliot this review makes me even more excited to go try this book right away! I love how the girl can shape shift into a fox. So part 1 is basically character building & how the world comes together? I actually like that cuz I wanna know how they get from one destination to another. From your awesome review; it seems like it's gonna be a good emotional rollercoaster & honestly I like that too lol. Im happy the girl displays some bravery. See this is why I like watching your channel because how you convey a story. I would love to see this as a anime series or TV show. Maybe you can star in it lol😅 Anyways this review gets a go & subscribe now from me cuz you truly showed a book review should be like. Have a bless one ❤

Thanks for the review. I just started this book today and now my excitement for it is renewed

You are extending my want-to-read list faster than I can read.

I'm defiitely reading it for Fall Into Fantasy Readathon, your review was very encouraging!

This looks sooooo good! I'm definitely putting this book on my TBR list!

i feel like you did this review very well and this is my first video of yours because i'm stuck between buying this book and another one so i'm watching reviews of them but i'm very interested and watching more of your videos :)

I finished the book today and absolutely loved it💗

shapeshifting sounds so cool, definitely adding to my tbr!

Great review!! I’ve been on the fence about this one but you’ve peaked my interest! ⛩

This sounds like something I’d love! Thank you for your great review, I’d been looking for thoughts on it to decide whether to get it or not (:

Gosh I read this book twice 😥 it's so much fun to reeead!

That sounds amazing

This sounds so up my alley!

I just saw this in chapters and was intrigued. I love Asian inspired and lots of character building and meandering. Totally going to pick it up soon. I love how we have to defend ourselves for thinking someone cannot naturally learn years of martial arts and weaponry in a few days.

Oh dear, that's another book to add to my TBR 😕 I love all things Japanese (the culture, the language, the county, the FOOD!!) So I'm definitely intrigued by this x

I loved the book. I read it like i would watch an anime, the creatures and the places they explored was amazing to imagine. I didnt expect that ending and it got me straight into the second book of the trilogy.

I mostly agree with you on this. I did think that the writing read a bit on the younger end.

Thanks for the review, Elle! I haven’t heard of this book before, but I’m totally interested now. I’d like to add a point regarding traveling story. I totally agree that it’s realistic for things on the way to be rather random as long as the characters still have the main mission in mind. That said, the author does have complete control over which happenings to tell and which to show in details, and sometimes they may end up showing too much unimportant stuff, which is usually my concerns when it comes to this type of stories. I think where the right balance is depends on the reader’s taste, so I’m curious to find out where I stand with this book. (As I typed this, I realized the irony of me being the one who forgives The Name of The Wind for showing way too much! Haha) Anyway, I love your point about there being multiple types of strength. To restrict women (or men) to just physical strength or any one type of strength for that matter is to have done a disservice to the entire group!

Travel is always difficult to pull off well. I'm not a writer but I am a Dungeon Master, and I've found conveying a sense passage of time without it feeling it is a waste time is difficult. So when an author succeeds at it, Huzzah!

Hi thanks for the review, I might check out the book!! Enjoy the book skyward by Brandon Sanderson!!! Happy reading to u 🍁

This was (besides Shadowhunters)MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE BOOK EVER!!!!❤️❤️❤️

They have an audiobook of Shadow of the Fox on Hoopla in case anyone is interested!😀

I already read this book..

I swear everytime Okame opens his mouth it makes me laugh.

Where can I purchase the shadow of the fox

"Let me guess, the two will fall in love with each other and get together?"... Thats what i was writing when i started watching this xD Just ordered this and Soul Of The Sword. Hope its good. I love japanese mythology and foxes =) The title drew my attention.." hmm.. Something about foxes".

I’d never heard of this- it sounds good. Thanks for the review! @feeney86

It felt like a children's book. i could not persevere

Ironically, I think the guy is more of a damsel in distress in this story and it works for the plot. That boi needs some help!

sounds boring and standard. Almost sounds like Inuyasha
