“I trust you.” The words were a whisper into my soul. The tips of her thumbs brushed my cheek, unbearably tender, and I closed my eyes against the softness.”

books read in 2021 ↣ shadow of the fox by julie kagawa

i have witnessed both the fox’s cunning and human compassion within you. i have seen callousness and kindness in equal measure, and i know you are balanced on a very thin edge right now, one of yokai and human.

happy birthday,  @kagetatsumis 🤍

The spider does not spin its web in a heartbeat, nor does the albatross fly across oceans with a few flaps of its wings.

@asianlitnet event 01: favorite book — shadow of the fox by julie kagawa

“Master Isao taught kindness and patience in all things, especially when one was injured,” I went on. “He said that caring for the spirit was just as important as caring for the body.” Looking into Tatsumi’s blank, emotionless face, I had a sudden, heartbreaking insight. “No one has ever showed you any kindness before, have they?”

@projectliterature event 02: underappreciated  —  shadow of the fox, julie kagawa

“In the best stories, the heroes always give their lives, for honor, duty, sacrifice and the glory of the empire. Anything less and it is not much of a story at all.”

@asianlitnet event 02: quotes — soul of the sword by julie kagawa

“I won’t let him have you,” she whispered in a fierce voice. “Your life is worth something—to me.” Her other hand touched my face, making me shiver. “Look at me, Tatsumi-san. Really look at me, and tell me what you see.”
