The Keeper of Night by Kylie Lee Baker

3.0

An interesting read, but I was not super into it. Ren is a difficult narrator to identify with at times--although the author does a good job of making you see why she is how she is. The Japanese mythology was all new to me and was interesting, but because Ren is a Reaper it mostly focuses on the dark or bad parts of human fate according to Japanese legends. There is some suggestion that death is a necessary thing to keep things in balance, which I found an interesting commentary on our current times--but Ren is not very reflective, so we don't get much of that. It was a fun, interesting read, but I wasn't very emotionally involved.
