Review: Night of the Dragon

Night of the Dragon Night of the Dragon by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Yumeko had to relinquish the last piece of the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers to protect the people she loves, but that doesn’t mean she is planning to give up.  She has put together a group willing to travel to Iwagoto to stop the evil that has been planned.  The Master of Demons wants to get a wish from the Great Kami dragon … this wish would take the people into further darkness.  Kage has gained control over his body, but the deal he had to make with the demon inside him may be worse than what he already went through.  Will Yumeko be able to separate Kage and this demon?  Will this group be able to save the empire from the impending darkness?


Night of the Dragon is the final book in the Shadow of the Fox trilogy.  Since all of the world-building transpired in the first two books, Kagawa was able to focus on the characters and the story in this fantasy adventure.  The story is told in alternating voices and the readers will enjoy knowing what is happening in parallel passages.  This novel has a very firm and complete ending, yet as in any fantasy novel, there is always room for more stories.  I recommend Night of the Dragon to everyone who already finished the first two books.
