it was amazing

4.5 stars, rounded up

Beautiful story inspired by Japanese culture and, indeed, artwork. I especially love the character of the fox and her growth through the chapters of the story. Gaiman is adept at creating stories that could fit easily and seamlessly into mythology. The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is that was far too short for my liking. I could have spent far longer in the company of these characters.

“And did you also learn a lesson?”

But the pale king chose not to answer and remained wrapped in silence; and after some time the raven flapped heavily away into the sky of dreams and left the king entirely alone.”"
