I really wanted to love this book but I couldn't.

The reader did a great job reading such a boring story, I love her performance. At least the ending of her and her brother was good. I hated her so call friend who are a bunch of back stabber and somehow they are the good guy cuz she lie to them ? They didn't even get any development to make them likable. She didn't even use it in the final battle against the villain. She have awesome power as a fox and yet she never got to use it for anything interesting, exciting, or cool. She super clever, brave, kind, while still naive and have so much to learn. Min was such an interesting and wonderful character and we never get to see her really develop. It had so much potential and it just failed on so many level. That one of my favorite thing about Rick Riordan present, to learn about other country cultural and myth. I didn't learn anything about Korean culture beside the few thing I can imply base on the story. I didn't learn much about Korean mythology but just a few thing I can imply from the book. It didn't really do anything the Rick Riordan present book are suppose to do: help teach kid about other culture mythology in a compelling story. I had read almost all the Rick Riordan present books and this one was just ok. This sci-fi adventure with the underpinnings of Korean mythology will transport you to a world far beyond your imagination.

The outcome may not be what she had hoped, but it has the potential to exceed her wildest dreams. She will be forced to use more fox-magic than ever before and to rely on all of her cleverness and bravery. It will involve deception, lies, and sabotage. Min's quest will have her meeting gamblers, pirates, and vengeful ghosts. She decides to run away to find him and clear his name. Jun would never desert his battle cruiser, even for a mystical object rumored to have tremendous power. When word arrives Jun is suspected of leaving his post to go in search of the Dragon Pearl, Min knows something is wrong. She's counting the days until she can follow her older brother, Jun, into the Space Forces and see more of the Thousand Worlds. She would like nothing more than to escape Jinju, her neglected, dust-ridden, and impoverished planet.

Min feels hemmed in by the household rules and resents the endless chores, the cousins who crowd her, and the aunties who judge her. To keep the family safe, Min's mother insists none of them use any fox-magic such as charm or shape-shifting. But you'd never know it by looking at her.

Rick Riordan presents Yoon Ha Lee's space opera about 13-year-old Min, who comes from a long line of fox spirits.
