The Navigating Fox by Christopher Rowe
4.0
This short and sweet novella gives readers a glimpse into a new world of magical realism, full of enlightened animals and their 'voiceless' kin living alongside humans. Quintus is the only such fox, and has a unique role as a guide to those who travel the magical silver roads.
The only survivor of an expedition to the gates of hell, he is unwillingly roped into leading a second expedition by a spiritual leader whose aim is to close the gates forever, and in exchange he will reveal Quintus' origin, which is unknown to him and the one thing he desires.
I loved every second of this! It reminded me of some of my favorite sci-fi fantasy tales. The writing is somewhat awkwardly styled on very rare occasions, but otherwise enchanting. I sincerely hope to see more out of this world.
