Summary from Goodreads:
In the realm of Awara, where gods, monsters, and humans exist side by side, Miuko is an ordinary girl resigned to a safe, if uneventful, existence as an innkeeper’s daughter. But when Miuko is cursed and begins to transform into a demon with a deadly touch, she embarks on a quest to reverse the curse and return to her normal life. Aided by a thieving magpie spirit and continuously thwarted by a demon prince, Miuko must outfox tricksters, escape demon hunters, and negotiate with feral gods if she wants to make it home again. But with her transformation comes power and freedom she never even dreamed of, and she’ll have to decide if saving her soul is worth trying to cram herself back into an ordinary life that no longer fits her… and perhaps never did.
Review:
Another wonderful fantasy on the books. This was a unique read that I loved dearly.
Traci Chee pulls on her heritage to create a wonderful world a mystery and intrigue and I absolutely loved Miuko. She is strong, even though she doesn't know it until the end of the story. The whole vibe was more of a fairytale, but a dark mysterious fairytale which really worked for the author who has an amazing writers voice.
This was a great introduction to Traci Chee's writing and I can't wait to read more.
