Description
Kai has trained all her life in her father’s martial arts school. Though she is looked down upon for being a girl, she proves her courage when assassins launch a ruthless attack on her family. Yet Kai is the inheritor of a dark secret: each month she is transformed into a fox demon, and must hunt and kill a man so she can return to her life as a young woman. As the deaths mount and the townspeople start to voice their suspicions, Kai desperately searches for a way out.
Meanwhile, there is a mysterious girl who shares a secret bond with Kai, and whose love may be the key to breaking her curse...
Inspired by the ancient nine-tailed fox legends of Korea, The Fox Maidens is a searing, thrilling fantasy romance told in beautiful, striking graphic art.

Thank you Netgalley and Andersen Press for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
I thought the art in this graphic novel was beautiful and that it sang in such harmony with the storytelling. I loved Kai, I loved her ferocity, her determination and her heart. I loved so many elements of this story. My one complaint is that I think the ending wrapped it up too quickly, I would've liked more time to flesh that part of it out. But this story was such an interesting one, told in such a compelling way.

This was a beautiful book, both the story and illustration were fabulous, especially the chapter pages. The art style was a delight and the writing was clear and well annotated when translations or explanations were required. The only thing stopping me giving this 5 stars is the kind of abrupt ending. It felt like it ended 2 or 3 pages too soon. But anyway, a delight, and it will make me check out more info about Korean folklore (which seems both very similar to Japanese, and very creepy).
