A love story that formulates into a personal velocity. A book told from the female, were-fox perspective. A unique supernatural world developed with strong philosophical exploration.

What I liked....
Fantastic lines like "...a man's weak spot is the fantasies that fill his mind." So much of this story made me stop and really focus on the meaning of what was being transcribed. The philosophical points of view can be followed easily with this main character. I can argue with most of them, but I was really just trying to enjoy the story.

The funny sexual inuendos kept the sometimes meaty reading light. I loved the idea of the two main characters hypnotically enjoying the comforts of one another with intertwined tails while adding subjective roll playing from any other movie except porn.


What I hated....
The Russian political references that seemed endlessly boring, lost in a story that centers around love and self fulfillment. I love a good ending but this one was sadly off key.
