4.0
Probably 3.5, but mostly because it’s something between a fairy tale for kids and a YA novel. Lots of clear good and bad, some funny animal and spirit companions, and a young protagonist learning to overcome societal restrictions. The lore of the books is really well done.

God I love how the narrative twists and turns, and I'm such a big fan of every single character and how everyone has their own rules and codes and vices

cmccollum's review against another edition
3.0
[3.5 stars] This was a romp. Very episodic and steeped in Japanese folklore, it's a good book for anyone who loved Inuyasha as a kid, and wants a book that captures the same mythical, macabre silliness. It reminded me of Gods of Jade and Shadow (which I loved) but with a bit less subtlety. The themes are delivered with a heavy hand, but the rest of the book is enough fun that I didn't mind.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.75
I honestly really enjoyed this book, even with parts I didn't love. It's definitely left me with good feelings.
