Fox and Phoenix by Beth Bernobich
4.0
3.5.
I picked this up quite randomly from the bookstore because it was half-price and seemed intriguing. Though I'm glad I didn't pay the full price, it was surprisingly fun and original. I especially loved the world it was set in: a sort of parallel universe in a simultaneously medieval and futuristic China where technology and magic go side by side, and everyone has their own spirit animal with whom they can communicate telepathically. The plot, characters, and writing didn't exactly stand out, positively or negatively, but I'm glad I read it and hope to get ahold of the rest of the series when they follow.
