Let me start by saying that I LOVED Shadow of the Fox so when I saw this was available I knew I had to read it. Unfortunately I didn't love it as much as I did the first book. The story continues right where it left off but this just seemed more detailed and less action despite all that is going on. There were a ton of descriptions of things that didn't seem all the necessary and inner monologues of the characters that I could have done without. That being said there were parts of this that were great, basically the last 30% where it picks up a bit. We are left with a bit of a cliffhanger and lots of questions so you know I'll be reading the last of this trilogy.

I miss the side quest-y, gathering the gang vibes of the first book, but *sigh* that’s to be expected. I feel as though the first book had bigger villains, which is weird because objectively it didn’t, but they were more ominous. Still a fun time and I look forward to seeing how the series ends

I loved it
I just live this series. It has everything and does not get bore! It’s not dragged out and has a purpose!

Excellent read! Long setup to the final battle to resolve the first's cliffhanger. The author delved deeper into the characters- I loved learning the history of the sword. The twist at the end -

rtc but rq: the audiobook was SAAAAUUUURRRRRR GOOD
onto the actual review:
i can't sing praises for this book in audiobook form enough. i listened to this while i was moving and traveling, and it felt like the perfect companion to do mindless tasks with as we follow yumeko & co. on the next leg of their journey. it reads like an anime (if that makes any sense) and the pacing is just perfect enough to make you want to keep listening. i was actually almost a little sad that my plane ride wasn't longer so i could read more of the book!
i think in comparison to the first book, i felt like there were a lot of reveals and gotchas that i didn't feel wove in perfectly, or made me feel exasperated. like of course i wanted the action and adventure to keep going, but there were a few plot points that, in retrospect, felt like a little bit of a waste of time. but i guess if we're staying with that anime comp, there's gotta be some filler episodes, right?
super excited for the last book! eager to start up my libro.fm subscription again so i can listen to the last book in the series :-)
