The Fox Maidens by Robin Ha
2.0

:/
i didn’t like this and that makes me very sad
the age group this is aimed at feels incredibly vague, how characters talk feels very juvenile but the book deals with some really serious topics 
it really doesn’t help that Kai goes from age 10 to 19(?), which with the length leads to some wild time jumps :(
the dialogue feels very very stilted, and has difficulty with stating things that the reader can gather based on the art (for example, at one point Kai has a scared look on her face and the words say “I am so afraid!”)
:( really thought i’d like this
also nearly forgot but the relationship genuinely comes out of NOWHERE they kiss in a dream after meeting each other when theyre both people only once
