Japanese shadow magic, or kage-no-jutsu, is a traditional form of entertainment and art that dates back to ancient times in Japan. This unique form of magic involves the manipulation of shadows through various techniques and tools to create illusions and performances that captivate and amaze audiences. The origins of Japanese shadow magic can be traced back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when it became popular as a form of entertainment among the masses. At the time, professional shadow magicians, known as kage-shi, would travel from village to village, performing shows that showcased their skill in manipulating shadows to create beautiful and intricate scenes. The techniques used in Japanese shadow magic vary, but they often involve the use of puppets or cut-out figures made from paper or other materials. These figures are then lit from behind with a source of light, while the magician manipulates them to create different shapes and movements.

The plot was predictable and the twists were anything but surprising. Additionally, the dialogue was stilted and unrealistic, making it hard to believe in the world the author was trying to create. I struggled to finish this book and was left feeling unsatisfied.
