Other magical creatures can shapeshift or possess other magic. Some characters worship divine beings called Kami. The story is filled with spiritual creatures. Hints at more than that– the couples talk about spending one last night together and do spend the night in a room together, but nothing beyond kissing is shown. Profanity used infrequently mainly by one character. NIGHT OF THE DRAGON is part of a fantasy series that’s based on Japanese folklore. It’s got amazing characters and a deeply immersive story world– which is probably something we all need right now!Īlso, read on past my content breakdown for a Q&A with author Julie Kagawa! This is a great series for fantasy lovers and of course anyone who loves manga and anime. So this isn’t really a series I’d recommend jumping into at the end. I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, so I started listening to the first two books in the series as audiobooks, and I’m REALLY glad I did! I don’t think I would have enjoyed the third book nearly as much or followed it nearly as well without reading the first two. When I first agreed to review NIGHT OF THE DRAGON, I was unfamiliar with the series, but a fan of Julie Kagawa’s books. There’s lots of buildup to the big fight that we know is coming.
It gives us more information about Yumeko’s past. This third book wrapped up some of the things we’d been waiting for from the first two books. Okay, I feel like all the things I want to say are spoilers, so apologies if I seem unclear. It’s super different than anything I’ve read before, and I really got into it.
This is the first series I’ve read that’s based on Japanese folklore. And there is another player in the battle for the scroll, a player who has been watching, waiting for the right moment to pull strings that no one even realized existed…until now. They will share his body and work with Yumeko and their companions to stop a madman and separate Hakaimono from Tatsumi and the cursed sword that had trapped the demon for nearly a millennium.īut even with their combined skills and powers, this most unlikely team of heroes knows the forces of evil may be impossible to overcome. Shadow clan assassin Kage Tatsumi has regained control of his body and agreed to a true deal with the devil-the demon inside him, Hakaimono. Now she and her ragtag band of companions must journey to the wild sea cliffs of Iwagoto in a desperate last-chance effort to stop the Master of Demons from calling upon the Great Kami dragon and making the wish that will plunge the empire into destruction and darkness. Kitsune shapeshifter Yumeko has given up the final piece of the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers in order to save everyone she loves from imminent death.
