Soul of the Sword by Julie Kagawa

~ Veselin ~ 3 Comments

In a magical world that feels like ancient Japan, a girl with fox tail will challenge the demons. She’ll have help by lots of random creatures, some of them interesting and others – less so.

The hero path has issues – the superpowers need super enemies. Thankfully, Yumeko’s superpower in book 2 is deception and she can’t just win by levelling up. She’ll need to figure out some clever ways out of the tough situations that keep happening.

The book is great. Gets 5*/5 and I’ll look for the final tomorrow. I liked book one more because the superpower was kindness.

I was surprised to see this little fellow outside, after all the cold lately. We had several sub-zero days. The violets were fine, and were not alone.

It was also my first long morning walk from home to our shared co-working space in over a month. My current route is about 6km long. I enjoyed the weather and attempted to capture some blog-worthy photos with a mixed success.

Here’s a photo of a pigeon eating popcorn.

Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa, Book Review

~ Veselin ~ 1 Comment

Yumeko is a half-fox teenager who wields illusion magic. She has fox ears, a fox tail, and is otherwise human. She starts on a long journey to fulfill a long-awaited prophecy about the end of an era. She would need to hide her non-human nature because most of the creatures around her wouldn’t consider her worthy if they saw the ears. Her main magic is her kindness.

The book is written in the POV style, with 3 different characters. Yumeko and Tatsumi are quite pleasant to read, and the third one shall not be named. The book is qualified as Young Adult but I’d say it’s not too juvenile.

I want more of it.

5/5

It was a great WordCamp!

My part was on the volunteers team, where I had a chance to meet some really nice folks. Happy that the organisers carried the torch and kept making camps so I had the opportunity to be there and even rejoin the team. Felt good.
