 The characters are delightful. The comedy of errors is entertaining without injuring suspension of disbelief. Yuki's commentary on the nature and culture of foxes is pitch perfect. The mystery is... really more about seeing how the stories overlap than figuring out a culprit, and that's nice for a change of pace, too. The romances are bittersweet and touching. The time and place are present and influence the atmosphere and events but aren't overly assertive. I didn't want to stop reading and I can't think of a single complaint. I loved this book.
