At the beginning, the start didn't get that fast to me. It was only around chapter 6 that I started to like it, but reading more of it made the difference. Never taught I will love this book like I do now! Also the ending! The ending was too satisfying to be true, it was the perfect scenario to read as my last pages. Will definitely jump onto book 2!

This was an enjoyable, well-paced and adventurous read. It reminded me a lot of the general plot of Tangled, Yumeko herself reminding me of the loving naivety of Rapunzel, which I loved. Don't get me wrong though - this book stands apart as its own story. I loved learning about the different types of yokai and how they worked in the world of Igamoto; for example, in the challenges they created for our main characters, and also how they affected the character building of Yumeko and Tatsumi. The opening chapter was simply incredible, giving a sample of the intrigue and adventure to come. I did wish we got a bit more character work overall, but obviously this is just the first book in this series, and there is plenty more time for it to happen. I am looking forward to reading the sequel.
