Week 40 Review: Tsumiku and the Enslaved Fox, Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal


From Goodreads:
Tsumiko inherits an ancestral home, a vast fortune, and a butler who isn't exactly human.

Humanity is rocked by the Emergence of a people who call themselves the Amaranthine. They are our myths and legends come to life. Neither human nor animal, yet embracing qualities of both, the inhuman races inspire both awe and fear. Every newsfeed is clogged with updates about the peace process, but some places don't concern themselves with worldly affairs. Like the girls' school run by Saint Midori's of the Heavenly Lights, where Tsumiko Hajime grew up. 

A letter from a long-lost aunt names Tsumiko heiress to an ancestral estate and its accompanying fortune. Only the legacy comes with an aloof heirloom: an inhuman butler. Argent has served the Hajime family for centuries, and Tsumiko must renew the generational bond or he'll die. Argent hates her for the hold she has over him, but he craves her soul almost as much as he craves his freedom. 

From Goodreads:
She wasn't aware of her gift's significance, yet he expects to be courted. 

Kimiko enrolls at the In-between's prestigious new high school, which is designed to promote the integration of the human and inhuman races. As a reaver, she's supposed to act as peacemaker, bridging a formidable cultural gap, but the other two members of her triad don't need any help in that department. Akira and Suuzu have been friends since middle school. Instead, the boys must rally behind Kimiko when she inadvertently initiates a courtship with Eloquence Starmark.

My Review:
Can you tell that I love this series? I love these first books dearly, and with the release of the next book coming soon, and having now read the Songs of the Amaranthine series, I had to go back to the beginning and see if I could pick up n anything new! And I did! 

Like the fact that Tsumiku was at the St. Midori school? The one named after Anna Starmark, the one she asked for at the end of Flattered by Flowers? Yeah, never caught onto that, even though the thing about Anna's maiden name being Green, and Midori means green in Japanese, was a think in Kimiko. Which is why I had to reread it!

Tsumiko, it was really great, because Argent keeps her hidden, and I don't think we've really seen her since, she's been mentioned, she's texted with Akira, but we haven't seen her. And Argent is all smooth and put together, it was great to see when he wasn't. I just adore the two of them. 

I also adore Kimiko and Eloquence. The particulars of their situation, I just can't get enough of, that she has to be the one to initiate, because he's his clan's tribute. That they're going to have crosser babies just like Ever, and yeah, I love the pair of them, as well! 

Absolutely loved reading these books, and I can't wait to read more!
