sc104906 's review for:
Shadow of the Fox
by Julie Kagawa
I received and eARC of this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Every thousand years, a mythical dragon returns to grant a wish to a person who has the right objects to enact the process. It is nearly time for the dragon to return and several people across the world are vying to get key pieces of the prayer scroll to gain the wish. The person who comes out on top will determine the future of the world for the next thousand years.
Yumeko, a part kitsune, or mythical fox, has been trained her entire life by a monastery of monks to hide her kitsune nature and protect something. As it turns out, the monastery has a piece of the scroll and when it is attacked by someone who wants to make a wish, Yumeko is the only survivor and tasked with protecting it. She must travel to another location to find help. On her way, she meets Kage, who is an assassin that was sent to find the scroll piece at Yumeko’s monastery. Hiding the fact that she knows the location of the scroll pieces, Yumeko uses Kage to help her get to the next location in her quest.
This read like a manga. However, I found it difficult to follow and boring. It would have worked better as an episodic manga, than a novel.
