A review by eponymous_city
A Thousand Steps into Night by Traci Chee

I don't tend to like the retold fairytale genre, but I grabbed this because I needed a new audiobook and this was recommended on tiktok as good fantasy with Japanese folklore vibe by a Japanese American woman and I didn't have a lot of time to decide. It was cute and I did enjoy the character's relationship arc from distrust to love, but I have confirmed that this type of story is not the vibe for me. On top of that, I cannot fathom why they chose a white lady to narrate the audiobook! Her accent really pulled me out. There's got to be at least one female japanese-american voice actor who they could have hired...
