This book had beautiful moments that really resonated with me. The author's approach to mythology was exceptional, and the vivid descriptions of the foxes were enchanting. I was particularly impressed by the way the author tackled complex issues such as death and grief with beautiful subtlety, making the book even more poignant. 

However, I must admit that the pace was slower than what I had anticipated, and there were moments where I longed for more excitement. Additionally, the book was somewhat repetitive at times, which detracted slightly from my overall enjoyment. Nonetheless, I found it a refreshing read, and I would recommend it to others. This was my first time reading a book by Choo, and I look forward to delving into more of her work in the future.
