The world of London Reapers and Japanese Shinigami collide in this story of Ren and her search for herself. Along the way we meet an interesting cast of characters that develop in unexpected ways.

The ending was not exactly what I expected, but I'm looking forward to the second book later this year to see how Ren struggles and comes to term with the decisions she made.

I love that this took on Japanese mythology in a manner I have never read before. As much as I like Greek myths, it’s wonderful to see and learn about other countries myths even if it’s through the lens of a fictional novel. This is definitely a mix of plot and character based with a vast amount of world building during the first 1/4 of the book. Ren and her brother come to life, whether you are reading and listening to the audiobook or simply just reading on your own. She is not your typical heroine, more of a grey spectrum but I definitely felt for her when it came to the raw feelings of not being good enough or wanted. I’m excited for the second book. I think my only concern is it felt slow but the pace picked up once the duo were safely in Japan.
