Ok I’m not a sci/fi girly and at times I felt myself uninterested but I had to focus really hard on the other aspects that the story gave which were obviously still really good for me to finish.
This was not a bad story by any means, you’ve got familial dynamics, Asian folklore intertwined with space and adventure. I really enjoyed many of these.
I did have an issue with everything just being too easy. Granted this is a MG so really the depth can be pretty surfaced. Nothing too mentally difficult to process but still, you’re in space and this child is running around with Fox powers and changing herself to whatever she wants, enough to trick everyone she comes in contact with 🤔
I would definitely recommend this to kiddos who are getting into sci/fi, the space and futuristic concepts were really easy to follow and nothing too complex. But I think I’m done attempting the Sci/Fi genre at the moment.
