Her growth is shown symbolically in the novel – as is the moment in which she realises her strength. She slowly comes into her own with the support from unexpected sources. Seven Deadly Shadows is a story that narrates the change Kira goes through in order to achieve her goals. I enjoyed reading Kira’s story and watching her growth throughout the novel. The delightful use of metaphors and similes drew me into the story, and the engaging characters kept me there. I loved this book! It was beautifully written and embraced Japanese mythology and manga traditions. With war drawing nearer by the day, Kira realizes that if this unlikely band of heroes is going to survive, they’re going to have to learn to work together, confront their demons, and rise as one to face an army of unimaginable evil.
But some of the death gods aren’t everything they initially seemed, nor as loyal to Kira’s cause as they first appeared.
Unable to face the Shuten-doji and his minions on her own, Kira enlists the aid of seven ruthless shinigami-or death gods-to help stop the brutal destruction of humankind. one the yokai and their demon lord, Shuten-doji, will use to bring down an everlasting darkness upon the world. With the help of Shiro-the shrine’s gorgeous half-fox, half-boy kitsune-Kira discovers that her shrine harbors an ancient artifact of great power. Bullied by her peers and ignored by her parents, the only place Kira’s ever felt at home is at her grandfather’s Shinto shrine, where she trains to be a priestess.īut Kira’s life is shattered on the night her family’s shrine is attacked by a vicious band of yokai demons. Kira Fujikawa has always been a girl on the fringe.
I looked forward to reading this fantasy novel so much that I chose it to be my first read for 2020. I rubbed my hands in glee when I received Seven Deadly Shadows by Courtney Alameda and Valynne E. In December, the team at Harper Collins sent me a few books to read and review during the Winter.
