I just find the plot so slow (which isn't really for me), but the romance is fast-paced; like after the river scene, they just become sort of lovers after that, i didnt get much build up in the story and i didnt get enough banters soooooo. They served thoooo, also i didn't expect the twist at the end but at some point i doubted the identity of Okami. And the scenes is so detailed i have to scheme through it because it bores the hell out of me

“When all I strive for each day is to convince my shadow I’m someone worth following.”

This was such a uniquely good book. I loved the writing and the characters, ugh and their development throughout the story 🥰. Loved it. 

Mariko is just a girl on her way to marry the emperors son when her caravan is attacked and all them killed. She narrowly escapes into the forest and begins her plan to find the people responsible. How does she do this? Simple, she disguised herself as a boy and infiltrates the group she believes to be responsible responsible. She never could’ve guessed what she’d learn along the way.  

Featuring a fiercely independent girl on a mission and a boy who questions his sexuality because of her.

I really enjoyed this book, the protagonist was fascinating to follow, and the multiple perspectives worked very well to build intrigue and tension. I'm excited to read the next book
