As the kamigakari, Emi must remain pure both physically and mentally lest she be unable to receive the kami’s power and spirit. Because I believe you when you say you will keep your word.”Įmi is the kamigakari - destined to become the kami (goddess), Amaterasu’s, human host. Because you trust me when you know you shouldn’t. Because you are lonely and scared and I don’t understand why. Because you keep secrets like a kami and I’m curious what you hide.
the banter between Emi and Shiro is amazing and being introduced to my bby Yumei🥺 i cant not reread the rest of the series now that i’ve read this. It’s funny, i actually struggled with the beginning during my first read, yet with this reread i didn’t mind the slow start at all and loved everything. the world building also may be a little confusing with all the terms, although you get used to it throughout the story (there’s also a glossary at the back of the book). Trust me or maybe dont, the beginning is pretty slow, but once you reach around the 20% mark (chapter 7), it gets really good.
(altho, my love may be a tiny bit biased since I love Japanese culture so much BUT ANYWAYS) It breaks my heart seeing how only about 6.5k ppl have read this sobs it deserves more recognition, this beautiful book. Like it has almost everyone’s favourite trope, enemies-to-lovers, AND it’s based off of Japanese mythology which I’ve barely seen in the book world. This trilogy is so underrated and that’s totally unacceptable. I never thought it was possible for me to love this more than i did the first time, but it is.īest Japanese mythology based, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers book i’ve ever read🥺
