Publisher's Summary

In the epic finale to New York Times best-selling author Julie Kagawa’s Shadow of the Fox trilogy, the scroll has been taken, and no one is safe. 

To save everyone she loves from imminent death, kitsune shape-shifter Yumeko gave up the final piece of the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers. Now, she and her ragtag band of companions must make one desperate final effort to stop the Master of Demons from using the scroll to call the Great Kami Dragon and make the wish that will plunge the empire into chaos.

Shadow clan assassin Kage Tatsumi has regained control of his body and agreed to a true deal with the devil - the demon inside him, Hakaimono. They will share his body and work with Yumeko to stop a madman, and to separate Hakaimono from Tatsumi and the cursed sword that trapped the demon for nearly a millennium.

But even with their combined skills and powers, this unlikely team of heroes knows the forces of evil may be impossible to overcome. And there is another player in the battle for the scroll, a player who has been watching, waiting for the right moment to pull strings that no one even realized existed...until now.

Good book, but this series really could’ve been told in one or two books

I would recommend this book overall but there are quite a few unnecessary parts that don’t really add to the story

Satisfying end to a great series

Great book for people into YA fantasy. Action mixed with a significant dose of romance that had been building throughout the last 2 novels. Always nice to see mature gay rep too, even if it’s in the supporting characters.
If you need an ending that provides a ridiculous amount of closure (i mean that in a positive way) epilogue gives a full overview of what happens for the next 100 years after the conclusion of the main narrative.
I have 3 niglly complaints that absolutely should not put you off enjoying this series.
1. I found the voice acting disjointed as it appeared each of the narrators recorded separately without hearing how the rest of the cast characterised or voiced their role, meaning that, for example, the way tatsume’s actor voiced yumeko for his chapters sounded nothing like yumeko’s voice actual actor etc. wish they could have done this a bit more radio play style and had a narrator in addition to voice actors only their own lines for the non suki chapters.
2. Sometimes the writing was a little….. 1960s sitcom lol like instead of having normal conversation about battle they each have to chime in with a catchprase version of “i’m in!”
3. Reika’s only personality trait was A n g e r y. The problem of having 7 primary characters is that it means more work for the suthor to make them all 3 dimensional and it sort of didnt happen until very late in the game if at all eg when okame(sp?) develops feelings at the end of book 2. Reika didnt have enough development to feel like a tsundere so much as a toxic person who spewed nothing but criticism and negativity for 3 whole novels.

Fantastic Story!

I've enjoyed this whole trilogy story immensely! The narrators are very good, and the story line was well thought out, with some surprises along the way! I'm sad that it's over lol.

Great series

This series read much like a top rated fanfic, with all original characters, which were almost like certain characters from an old anime that I love. This was both bittersweet and frustrating. The originality cannot be questioned however, as the plot was clearly all the authors own, despite the similarities in characters, the jewel and wish, the mention of an old creepy well, demon possessed sword and the flying carriage—several of which are frequently used in the general fantasy Asian genre. All in all it was an enjoyable read, although the last few chapters required a box of tissues. The epilogue was nice and I liked the ending. It left a smile on my face. Very sweet.

Amazing series and story!

It was an emotional roller-coaster and I don't know if I will be able to find anything that will be good enough to listen to it now that I'm done.

Beautiful!

I could stay in the world Kagawa created forever! The characters make you fall in love with each of them! Even though I want more of the adventure it was the perfect ending, I cried it was so beautiful.
