I loved this book so much it had everything that I love going for it I love Japanese settings and Yokai most of all. I also liked that it was an adaptation of The Classic Japanese movie Seven Samurai I really liked how that was done it added a really interesting element to the story. I really liked the characters as well especially Kira and Shiro I liked that the romance between them was understated and mostly in the background the story focused more on finding the shinigami and finding the katanna and defeating the big bad. What I really liked about Kira was her complete and unwavering love for the shrine that her Grandfather was the priest of and also I loved her love for Shiro the Kitsune Shrine guardian. I also loved over time she learned to believe she could be more than she was ever told she could she is more than just an outcast. I really loved Shiro for his unwavering support of Kira as well as his love for her and how he was willing to doing anything for her. I really loved the plot of the story it started with a girl that is bullied and treated like an outcast then the shrine is attacked and the Grandfather she loves is killed as a result she then going on a journey to save the shrine and the world and so much more. I also would like to save I dislike most of her family other than her little sister who is only six I disliked her parents most of all who just wanted her to conform to their way rather than she going her own way.
