Jo (The Book Geek)'s Reviews > Pax

Being an individual that is rather fond of foxes, I was excited but also apprehensive about reading this book. It was again, initially the beautifully illustrated cover, that attracted me to this book. And throughout the book, there are more of these gorgeous illustrations for us to feast our eyes on.
The story didn't disappoint. It was a story about a boy and his fox. The boy and his fox( Pax) were then split up, and we then experience the journeys that they face, in order to be reunited again. You can't help but love Pax. He is brave, fierce and fearless, and he has so much love for his boy. My favourite character is Vola, though. If anyone has read the book, they'll know why.
The relationship that develops between the boy and Vola is well written. I found it poignant and totally believable.

The issue I had with this beautiful book, was the ending. It wasn't what I expected, and it kind of threw me off, as well as disappointing me. Apart from that, this was a charming read.
