About this listen

 In this first book of her Japanese mythology-inspired Shadow of the Fox trilogy, bestselling author Julie Kagawa weaves a stunning, high-stakes tale of alliances and deceptions, characters who aren’t what they seem, and secrets that could change the fate of the world.

Every millennium, whoever holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers has the power to call the great Kami Dragon from the sea and ask for one wish. The time is near...and the missing pieces of the scroll will be sought throughout the land of Iwagoto.

When demons kill half-kitsune Yumeko’s adoptive family, she’s forced to flee her home with one part of the ancient scroll. Fate thrusts her into the path of mysterious samurai Kage Tatsumi, who is Yumeko’s best hope for survival. But he’s under orders to retrieve the scroll. An uneasy alliance forms, and Yumeko begins the deception of a lifetime, knowing her secrets are more than a matter of life or death—they’re the key to the fate of the world.

Great book, looking forward to sequel. Perhaps needs other words for bloodlust, mused and bloated as they were repeated in sequence throughout book. Enjoyed the change between Japanese and English expressions. Voices where very good, though the first old monks voice kept creeping back into different characters near the end. All round very happy to have purchased book :)

Great listen

My only complaint would be how much the book changes narrators and the voices of characters change depending on this

Overall a good listen

First time reading anything from this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The different POV's and pace of the story were very entertaining and easy to follow.

Great read!
