Title: Shadow of the Fox

Author: Julie Kagawa

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2018

Genres: fiction, fantasy, mythology, romance

Blurb: One thousand years ago, the great Kami Dragon was summoned to grant a single terrible wish, and the land of Iwagoto was plunged into an age of darkness and chaos. Now, for whoever holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers, a new wish will be granted. A new age is about to dawn. Raised by monks in the isolated Silent Winds temple, Yumeko has trained all her life to hide her yokai nature. Half-kitsune, half-human, her skill with illusion is matched only by her penchant for mischief...until the day her home is burned to the ground, her adoptive family is brutally slain, and she is forced to flee for her life with the temple's greatest treasure: one part of the ancient scroll. There are many who would claim the dragon's wish for their own. Kage Tatsumi, a mysterious samurai of the Shadow Clan, is one such hunter, under orders to retrieve the scroll at any cost. Fate brings Kage and Yumeko together. With a promise to lead him to the scroll, an uneasy alliance is formed, offering Yumeko her best hope for survival...but he seeks what she has hidden away, and her deception could ultimately tear them both apart. With an army of demons at her heels and the unlikeliest of allies at her side, Yumeko's secrets are more than a matter of life or death; they are the key to the fate of the world itself.

Literally this is like so weird to think about. Do you think that JRR Tolkien and Mary Shelly were torturing themselves thinking about their blorbos? Was my girl Mary Shelly crying at 5 am thinking about The Monster? Does Julie Kagawa listens to music on her Spotify playlist and is like ‘this is so Tatsumi’? Does Christopher Paolini imagine Eragon animatics while he’s listening to music in the car?????

Fucks me up to think about how every character in the world is literally just someone's OC

Can <insert fantasy creature> be shot with a gun? A list by Julie Kagawa

Faery: absolutely, and it is MORE deadly for them than it is for regular humans. 10/10 way to take someone out of commission.

Vampires: technically, but most of the time all it will do is piss them off.

Dragon: Yes!* There's an entire organization that does this.

*a single, incredibly notable, exception applies

Kitsunes&Onis: Unfortunately the Shadow of the Fox Gang would be too powerful with a gun :( Untested.
