In the third and final book in the Shadow of the Fox series, the team
brought together by Yumeko is given an almost impossible task. Genno,
Master of Demons, has both pieces of the Dragon scroll. He plans to
use it to summon the great Dragon and make a wish that is granted
every thousand years. If he is successful, it will become an age of
demons and chaos will reign over the world.
The is a fast paced
book full of action. It’s an almost non-stop chase scene as Yumeko
and her band must battle enemies at every turn on their quest to stop
Genno. Although the action is the major part of the story, we still
have time to get to know the characters. The are the same characters
from the earlier books: Yumeko, Tatsumi, Reika, Okame, and Daisuke.
One of the best parts of this series is that the characters grow and
change over the three books. I love the way the team interacts with
humor and bravery.
Since this is the
third book in a tightly woven series, it’s best to read the other
two books first. However, this book can still be enjoyed for the
medieval Japanese setting and the complex characters who populate the
story.
I received this book
from Harlequin for this review.
