3/5 stars.
What a wonderful surprise. While reading Huntress, I was hoping the author would include Chinese mythical creatures like the huli jing. And here it is, a huli jing.Looking forward to a sequel... Maybe set 5 to 10 years later one where Kaede and Taisin are adults...Great cover art!
This is a good short story, a chapter left out of The Huntress. You can read it free on Malinda Lo's web site. https://www.malindalo.com/the-fox Read The Huntress first.
maybe 2.5admittedly i only read this story because it was a quick way to get the last one for the reading challenge, but it worked out because i just finished huntress a little while agodecember flew by, then i was in a reading slump so um, can I get a redo? but i’m glad to be saying goodbye to this year, Happy new year everyone
This worked fine as a short story but I'm actually glad it wasn't included in Huntress. It would have felt out of place as just a chapter since at no other point in the book did anyone interact with a magical creature this way or even have this type of disconnect with reality. It didn't really add anything to the world created in Huntress which was unfortunate since I loved that book. I was actually hoping for more. Maybe some day we'll get a story about Kaede going back to the Fairy Realm as th...
A short, pretty story set a couple of years after Lo's related novel Huntress. It's romance gone wrong on two levels, basically, but it's nicely told and I particularly enjoyed the quiet resolution of it. I haven't read a lot of stories using the kitsune figure before, though I have heard of it, so this was an interesting introduction to the mythology. Also, that shadow fox on the cover is especially creepy. Just saying.
1.5 stars. It's a short scene that exists solely to showcase a very brief glimpse of a magical fox creature. It says nothing about the character you don't already know from Huntress, doesn't add anything, doesn't stand alone, doesn't even read particularly well style-wise. *shrug*
Meh. This didn’t really do anything for me. It didn’t add anything that we didn’t already know about Kaede and Taisin from Huntress and I just wasn’t super impressed with the story itself. It didn’t evoke any particularly strong emotions and I found myself wanting/expecting more.
This is a really short story attached to the end of Huntress. Events unfold from the perspective of Kaede who is the main character from Huntress that I actually connected more with. She's still dealing with heartache and that feeling of sadness permeats the entire story, making it even more haunting. The lore of the kitsune shines through and is done beautifully, and there is the added bonus of the story featuring only Kaede, meaning we are thankfully spared Malinda's love for jumping from one
