I love these historical, not quite fantasy, mature and complex stories that YC writes! And her audio narration is always top notch — her voice is beautiful, the pacing fits perfectly, and of course, her bilingualism is excellent. 

Snow, our main character, is curious, clever, and occasionally foolish, like any good fox spirit. She’s experienced a horrible thing, and she’s set out on a quest for revenge, but she can’t help being a good fox along the way. I love her interactions with people, and her internal monologue is charming. 

Bao’s story is a sweet counterpart to Snow’s — as he follows along behind on her trail, we learn more about Snow from outside perspectives, and the events preceding the beginning of the novel. His relationship with Taktah (sp?) is cute too! 

YC paces her books in the way I like best — it starts slowly, from far away, but as the end comes closer and closer, it speeds up to fly by you like a train. It’s never good to have too many foxes in one place!
