Really liked this one. I wasn't expecting the space opera and I liked that twist on a story about kitsune.  It was a little slow at the beginning, but immersive enough that it didn't bother me. I liked Mein's character development, especially considering how rash she was in the beginning. Consequences followed through on actions, which I really appreciated. Generally an interesting story with interesting characters and I'd like to read more about them!

Really fun and a unique concept! Korean mythology and sci-fi make for a super memorable combination.

The ghost planet at the end gave me CHILLS. I didn't know it was going to get that dark!!!
