Like, end of the world as we know it, high. It makes the battle between good and evil more interesting for me (I’m also a huge lover of anti-heroes/heroines). Call me an equal opportunity villain lover but I’m definitely more interested in villainous villainesses who aren’t just good people doing bad things. You’ll find her truly awful, motivated by greed & power, not a broken heart or jealousy which I loved. Perfectly done, perfectly set the intrigue allows the actions of our characters speak so much louder than their words.ĭid I mention our villainess? Yes, the role of villain goes to a woman. While the romance takes a backseat, Shadow of the Fox has intrigue in spades. However, the epilogue sets the next book up to dive into the our two protagonists’ relationship. Shadow of the Fox has a more subtle romance, if one could really call it a romance. Usually I demand a strong romance from my fantasies to recommend them. Our half fox protagonist escapes from the ambush that kills her adopted family and unites with the mysterious young samurai from the Shadow clan and our story takes off. Set in the fictional country of Iwagoto, the setting mixes imagination with Japanese folklore. The rich Japanese folklore inspired setting, amazingly relatable characters and really & truly evil antagonists make Shadow of the Fox a book I wholeheartedly recommend for anyone ages twelve and up. Which means when I saw Shadow of the Fox as a book title, I had to have it. By now, perhaps, you’ve realized I have a thing for Foxes.
