Yumeko is a half-human half-fox teenage girl, gifted with the magic of illusion and trickery. She has the mission to bring a powerful scroll to safety. The scroll grants its owner a single wish, granted by the almighty dragon god, who can only be summoned once every 1,000 years. It was used to build or ruin empires, to give immortality, and to trap immortal creatures. However, over the last 2 books, the scroll was taken by an evil and long undead blood mage who wants to open the gates of hell. Yumeko and her friends will try to get it back.
This book is a LOTR-style romantasy where the entire magical system is inspired by Japanese folklore. No elves, or even kobolds. I didn’t tag the previous two books as romantasy because the love story was relatively insignificant and not out of the ordinary for fantasy books. However, this last part is all about characters doing things for each-other out of love and care. Yumeko is so nice that she can melt the hearts of demons.
5/5. Night of the Dragon is slightly less appealing to readers who aren’t into romantasy because some moments are cringe. I think the romance is tolerable.
The print quality is great and the series got its own shelf for now.
The real question for me is if I should keep reading Julie Kagawa. I’m not sure yet. It was a nice detour from the epic fantasy I usually read but another detour might be too much.

I didn’t realize you read romance books. Maybe I haven’t paid close attention. 🙂

I read The Fourth Wing last year so this was not my first romantasy book.

I’ve never delved into a Japanese romance novel before, but I’m all about embracing new beginnings! ✨ In the meantime, I can’t get enough of my favorite Korean movies 🎥—they always tug at my heartstrings! Anyone have recommendations for must-read books in the genre?

It’s a LOTR-style fantasy where a group of friends travel a great distance to use an artifact. The romance is primarily in the third part where some couples form.
