About this listen
Mystery in the Spirit Realm
Kaori lives in an otherworldly bookstore with her adoptive father. Together, they provide books to the strange denizens of the spirit realm. But Kaori's peaceful days come to an end when she rescues an injured boy from the streets--a human, like her, from the mortal realm. The boy's name is Suimei, and he's an exorcist, the natural enemy of all spirits. Can Kaori convince Suimei that the line between human and spirit is far hazier than he thinks? A touching supernatural tale where humanity and Japanese folklore intertwine!

Nothing in this world is more dangerous than a witch. The epitome of fear and terror, they can summon floods on a whim, conjure balls of fire out of the air, or even destroy entire countries overnight. Incur their wrath, and no one is safe. At least, that's what everyone thinks, and it's the very reason they all want Siasha dead. After yet another violent battle for her life, she teams up with Zig, a mercenary, and they depart for unknown lands to find somewhere she can live in peace. But is the pair any match for the lost magic and vicious monstrosities that lie ahead?

Not Bad and Fairly Sweet
This felt very much like a Studio Ghibli film. It had many of the same qualities like having spirits and monsters from Japanese folklore and a young-ish girl living amongst them. It takes a lot of time painting a picture of the MC's world and feels like a slice-of-life book, so don't expect much plot movement until the later part of the book, where there is a little action and plenty of emotional moments.
Overall, I thought it was sweet and enjoyable. I did feel like it was lacking a bit of impact, however. I found myself getting a little bored at times, but perhaps that is because this is obviously aimed towards a young audience. Even the young adult characters in the book act way younger than their stated ages, although some of this has to do with their upbringings.
The narrator was ok but maybe a little lackluster, which did not help my lack of enthusiasm for the story at some points. I think a better narrator could have really sold the book better, but this one was serviceable.
If you want a fairly relaxing and cute story, I'd say give this a try. I have a feeling that now that the world is established in this book, the following ones will have more action.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
