Reviews

[Sarah☀️ Somerville · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a really fun series with some great world building, and this book was no exception. I really enjoyed the new difficulties Keiko had to face - along with the overarching plot finally nearing its resolution.

And then, all of a sudden, everything was miraculously resolved and all neatly tied up in a pretty bow.

What?

I was left feeling really flat by the way it all turned out so nicely, especially given the major themes of Yōkai discrimination and challenging Yōkai/human relations and lying throughout the series. The ending just didn't fit, and it was really unsatisfying.

Satisfying Conclusion

I found the Little Yokai books a bit before the final ones were released, and it was so hard waiting for this final bok. I'm really not ready to say goodbye to Keiko and her family. But I couldn't have asked for a more satisfying conclusion to the series. Fantastic series of books, and looking forward to more from this author.
