pickThis is a fun collection! I really appreciated that it had stories from all over the Asian world—even as far west as Iraq and Turkey. There is a variety of styles (both art and writing) and of tale types. Some were familiar, either because they are similar to the Western tales I know better or because I‘d read them before, and many were unfamiliar. I did feel like it petered out at the end, getting quite dark and finishing inconclusively.
I love Kate Ashwin so much 😂
pickLoved this collection of folktales that originated in various countries in Asia. It was fun seeing each artist's take on old stories. I do wish there was a little context included for some of the stories. This would be an excellent companion piece for anyone studying any of this folklore. #Asia #Folklore #Comic
I read my first multiple character perspective book when I was about 9. It was an Andre Norton book and I remember being completely thrown when one chapter began with a completely different character narrating than I had been following up until that point. For my own “sanity” I carefully skipped all the chapters that switched perspective and then went back and reread those chapters.
This story doesn‘t wait until the next chapter. I loved it.
pick4 ⭐ I wasn‘t expecting much of this, and started pretty typically for an indie published book. Kitsune (fox) are illegal and their sworn enemy is the werewolf. book 1 deals with Mi keeping custody of her sister, afford food, and stay away from. This has little action but a bit of magic but not exactly how it works. There is a bit of action at the end which is just enough to make you interested in what happens next and seek out book 2.
so-soI Picked this book up on a whim. It wasn't a bad read, overall. It had its moments. I wish the characters weren't so typed, and the villain dialogue wasn't so stereotypical. Fans of #japanesefolklore or #anime like #inuyasha will likely love this one! #japan #japanesemythology #kitsune
