Fox and Sparrow

by Ginger Breo

The Japan of bright lights and somber temples is gone. In its place is a horrific world of monsters—yokai—terrorizing all those who suffer in the wasteland of the Now.

Into this hell one fiercely determined woman must she is Suzume, the "Sparrow", and she seeks to rescue her grandfather, a hero to his people and a legendary Yokai-Hunter. Her only help in this mission is a kitsune, Suzume's sworn a liar, a seducer, and a powerful ally. Together they must face impossible horrors and confront their own prejudices as they race to save more than the life of just one man—the fate of Japan may hang in the balance.

This is my second time reading this book and it gets better every time! Truly a fantastic read and a beautiful story. Suzume is such a fun character to follow, and the way she interacts with other characters is amazing, especially as she evolves as a character. Her relationship with her grandfather is so weirdly complex and kind of adorable? I’m a sucker for love during the apocalypse kind of stories, especially when it’s familial. Adorable read, very bloody and beautiful. ♡

This book is gorgeously written and beautiful blends Japanese myth and fairy tale with post-apocalyptic heroism. Highly recommended.
