gnitro 's review for:
Soul of the Sword
by Julie Kagawa
I received an ARC via Netgalley for an honest review.
I always worry about the second of a series, and thankfully this one did not let me down. This was another great book in this series. What I love most about this series as a whole, is just how much it feels like I'm reading something that absolutely needs to be turned in to an anime series at some point.
Normally I picture characters in most non-light novels as normal live action people, yet this series I see everyone in what I deem would be their anime character form. It's kind of amazing how Jule Kagawa accomplishes this.
The sequel felt overall a bit more darker and delved more in to different kami, yokai and spirits a bit more, which was a great thing. I loved when certain spirits showed up that I actually knew the history of.
I would say only one moment towards the very end was a pretty decent let down, just for how predictable and overused that type of scene was. Regardless it didn't take away from just how entertaining this book was, and I absolutely adore Yumeko, but I definitely have a soft spot for Kitsune, and Gumiho, type characters. If you loved the first book, you definitely don't want to miss this sequel.
