With rich world-building and thoughtful characters, The Keeper of Night will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading it. But this story is more than just a magical quest-it’s also about trying to find your place in the world and discovering how far you’re willing to go in order to fit in. I loved exploring the Japanese underworld with Ren as she encountered demons, each scarier than the last. ' The Keeper of Night is an absolutely thrilling tale of one girls search for identity and a sense of belonging. The Keeper of Night is wonderfully written and I couldn’t stop turning the pages, eager to discover Ren’s fate. If she fails, it could mean leaving Japan forever-or worse, death. If Ren is successful, she can stay and finally become a true Shinigami. The Goddess presents her with an impossible task: Kill three Yokai demons. With nowhere else to go, Ren flees to Japan with the help of her brother to become a Shinigami and serve the Goddess of Death in the Japanese underworld. Half-British Reaper and half-Japanese Shinigami, Ren has been collecting the souls of the dead for centuries in London, until one day, when she is forced to leave. Aided by a handsome, exiled Shinigami who has a club foot, Ren must complete a near-impossible task by killing three murderous Yokai, or spirits, to earn her. Equal parts magical and terrifying, Kylie Lee Baker has created a world that I never want to leave. The Keeper of Night has certainly earned a spot on my shelf. Even now as an adult, I make space on my bookshelf for young adult fantasy writers that stand out. When I was younger it was the first genre that truly captured my attention and made me fall in love with reading. Young adult fantasy has always had a special place in my heart.
