- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was an interesting book. There are talking animals who can change shape and appear human. There is a lot that isn't explained in the first book that I have to assume is fleshed out in further books. Still, it was an exciting story that I didn't want to put down. It could possibly be used in curriculum about Chinese mysticism and mythology.
