In the meantime, I plan to re-read Shadow of the Fox again and again until I can be reunited with Yumeko and Tatsumi soon. I'm so invested in their lives and their quest and I cannot wait for the next installment of my new favorite series. Not to mention a lovable kitsune, a sexy demonslayer, and quite a few side characters that are larger than life and have completely wormed their way into my heart.
"Shadow of the Fox has just become one of my all time favorite fantasy novels! I'm in love with this book, its characters, its worldbuilding! Oni, giant centipedes, flesh eating ghosts, and terrifying half women/half spider things that will give me nightmares for weeks to come, this book is filled with terrifying Asian mythological creatures that make Medusa look like a mean grandma with a bad wig. And Yumeko is the only one standing in his way. Hakaimono has one goal: break the curse of the sword and set himself free to rain chaos and destruction over the land forevermore. The demon Hakaimono is free at last, and he has possessed the very person Yumeko trusted to protect her-Kage Tatsumi of the Shadow Clan.
But she has a new enemy now, more dangerous than any she has yet faced. Kitsune shapeshifter Yumeko has one task: take her piece of the ancient and powerful Scroll of a Thousand Prayers to the Steel Feather temple in order to prevent the summoning of the great Kami Dragon, who will grant one wish to whomever holds the scroll. A weapon powerful enough to seal away the formidable demon Hakaimono.
