The writing in this book was lovely!
I had a hard time getting through the story because Miuko was so unpleasant -- she was self-centered and mean to people who tried to help her, but she was really well-written. She felt like a real teenager learning to be a person... I disliked her a lot for at least half of the book.
The adventure was great and there were a lot of wonderful side characters (Geiki forever!). The ending was very sweet.

A wonderful world of spirits, gods and demons, it's beautifully crafted with a great, tense story built through it.
I’m not entirely sure why I’m deciding to dnf this book. It’s pretty well written, and the story is interesting, I just don’t feel connected to it or the characters enough to continue it. Maybe I’ll try again later
The extreme feminist tropes became too much and distracted from the story in the worst ways.

An enjoyable romp through Japanese mythology.

Japanese fantasy! Spirits, demons and magic galore were fun, and I appreciated the female protagonist fighting through a distinctly misogynistic time, but overall I found this novel mediocre. It felt like it dragged on longer than what was necessary/effective and I had a hard time keeping characters straight. I did enjoy the audiobook narrator though. 2.5/5

I love a good feminist book & a good fantasy book… but I guess the combination isn’t really for me.
