A Thousand Steps into Night
ByPublisher Description
Longlisted for the National Book Award
From bestselling and award-winning author Traci Chee comes a fantasy perfect for fans of Studio Ghibli. When a girl who’s never longed for adventure is hit with a curse that begins to transform her into a demon, she embarks on a quest to reverse the curse and return to her normal life, but along the way is forced to confront her true power within.
In the realm of Awara, where gods, monsters, and humans exist side by side, Miuko is an ordinary girl resigned to a safe, if uneventful, existence as an innkeeper’s daughter.
But when Miuko is cursed and begins to transform into a demon with a deadly touch, she embarks on a quest to reverse the curse and return to her normal life. Aided by a thieving magpie spirit and continuously thwarted by a demon prince, Miuko must outfox tricksters, escape demon hunters, and negotiate with feral gods if she wants to make it home again.
With her transformation comes power and freedom she never even dreamed of, and she’ll have to decide if saving her soul is worth trying to cram herself back into an ordinary life that no longer fits her… and perhaps never did.

“Este libro lo empecé desde el año pasado y tuve tantas pausas por bloqueos lectores, pero no sé si tenga que ver con la energía de empezar un nuevo año o así, que me decidí porque fuera mi primera lectura, siento que por fin salí del bloqueo lector y pude disfrutarlo tanto de principio a fin. 😭❤️🩹 este libro recuerdo haber lo visto en recomendaciones dé libros con vibes a Studio Ghibli y concuerdo totalmente, es toda una aventura qué se recorre junto a Miuko qué es la protagonista, los personajes qué van apareciendo son increíbles y les cogí mucho cariño, siento que el plot twist que se da en la segunda parte fue muy bueno y que en lo personal nunca me espere jajajajajja también es una historia con tintes feministas y me gusto mucho como se represento, la ambientación, el mundo creado como tal y su lenguaje referente al mundo espiritual y físico me encanto, fue un libro relativamente sencillo de leer, con un buen desenlace y que se disfruta, mención especial a Geiki que se robó mi corazón desde el principio, yo también quiero que sea mi amigo. 😭💗”About Traci Chee
