About this listen
The Yuki-onna, often depicted as a beautiful woman cloaked in a white kimono, emerges from the depths of Japanese folklore as a fascinating figure entwined with the themes of love and death. Her origins can be traced back to ancient Japan, where the harshness of winter and the mystique of the snow-covered landscape gave rise to tales that reflect the duality of nature. As a snow spirit yokai, she embodies both the beauty and peril of winter, captivating the hearts of those who dare to wander into her icy realm. The stories of the Yuki-onna vary widely across regions, each adding layers to her character and highlighting the cultural context of the time.

However, the text was awfully repetitive and covered the same aspects multiple times throughout which was disheartening as the history of the Yuki-Onna sounded right up my alley and very promising for an audiobook title such as this. Instead it felt like I was largely being relayed the same information over and over with a few differences.
I received this title for free and leave this honest review.
A solid performance from the narrator but the writing was very repetitive
