The Fox Maidens by Robin Ha
4.0
The Fox Maidens by Robin Ha is a graphic novel following the life of Kai, the daughter of General Song, famed for killing the fox demon Gumiho, who has trained hard to become her fathers equal in martial arts despite the expectations of women.
Pros:
- Really lovely take on the traditional myths of the 9-tailed foxes.
- Artwork really lends itself to the action scenes without being too graphic. I also love how they play with colour in the flashbacks!
- A woman with a sword is always going to be a plus.
Cons:
- I wish we had more time with our rebels, but don't feel like context or plot is compromised without it. (I'm a sucker for pining, more! Always more!)
4/5 stars
Thank you NetGalley for providing the ARC in exchange for my honest review!
