 I think my real discomfort with this book stems from visiting Thailand as a Christian, and for the first time in my life seeing pagan/animist shrines casually displayed in public. 

 This book is engagingly written, and mostly seems to present the foxes as another type of creature--not necessarily supernatural so much as mysterious and not in our current scientific data. But the inclusion of fox shrines in the story made it hard to shake the creepy feeling that I know what's really behind the legends being retold here, and that I don't like it.

I really enjoyed this book. I found myself really rooting and worrying for the main characters and their relationships. I really enjoyed the storytelling and how the two main characters end up weaving together so much.

Where this loses (very few) points, is that the author can be very "tell, not show" at times and when the two characters are in the same place, the storytelling gets a bit confusing.
