Hi Cara,
Today is my spot on the Night of the Dragon Blog Tour. Night of the Dragon is the third and final book in the Shadow of the Fox series. The previous two books in the series are;
Kitsune shapeshifter Yumeko has given up the final piece of the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers in order to save everyone she loves from imminent death.
Now she and her ragtag band of companions must journey to the wild sea cliffs of Iwagoto in a desperate last-chance effort to stop the Master of Demons from calling upon the Great Kami dragon and making the wish that will plunge the empire into destruction and darkness.
Shadow clan assassin Kage Tatsumi has regained control of his body and agreed to a true deal with the devil—the demon inside him, Hakaimono. They will share his body and work with Yumeko and their companions to stop a madman and separate Hakaimono from Tatsumi and the cursed sword that had trapped the demon for nearly a millennium.
But even with their combined skills and powers, this most unlikely team of heroes knows the forces of evil may be impossible to overcome. And there is another player in the battle for the scroll, a player who has been watching, waiting for the right moment to pull strings that no one even realized existed…until now
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
Night of the Dragon is a spectacular way to end a great series.
The second half of Night of the Dragon emotional ruined me. My emotions went on a rollercoaster that caused me to laugh and cry. The last third of the book I spent most of it crying as the connection between the character, their honour in battle with the seriousness of the situation emotional choked me.
In Night of the Dragon, the stakes are higher, the fights are more deadly and the revelations surprising.I’ve split those three categories below to give more detail;
Stakes: Stopping the wish and the drama around it means it’s the end of the world type stakes. Especially as the day of the wish is so close.
Fights: There are so many great fights in Night of the Dragon. Fights between, Demon, human and the dead. I like that each character has there own fighting style.
Revelations: So many revelations from the wish, what certain characters are planning and finding out someone linage.
Night of the Dragon is beautifully written, fast-paced and completely engaging. I stayed up late to read this book in one night.
One of my favourite elements in Night of the Dragon is the emotional, romantic connections between the main gang of characters, There are all so different with different background but they have made an unlikely family. The moments between Yumeko and Tatsumi, and Okame and Daisuke warmed my heart. Especially the moments between the Dog and the Peacock.
Night of the Dragon is perfect for people who enjoy books with;
- Magic
- Romance
- Friendship
- Japanese Mythology
- Action
- Drama
- Demon
Then I advise giving this book/series a read.
My rating for Night of the Dragon is 5 out of 5.
