⛩Seven deadly shadows is the story where we follow Kira, whose family shrine has been attacked and she must go and protect it from the next attack during the blood moon in a months time.
⛩The Japanese culture in the book is really well researched and the information about folklore definitely piqued my interest in reading this book. But that is kinda it...
The book started of really good and I really enjoyed how the start was written. We get to know the characters we’ll be following.
The characters were people I didn’t really connect with and the dialogue didn’t always made sense to me. This left me a bit confused while reading. The pacing of the character development is a bit like going from 0-100 in seconds while the story pacing is quite slow in comparison. It just didn’t seem to match the stories progress.
The romance was a bit sudden. I knew there was probably gonna be romance but still, like nothing had really happened between the two and than suddenly they were kissing. I was a bit confused by the sudden turn and it didn’t feel real to me. Also they keep kissing but she keeps saying they’re friends... like what
