15.2 - Outfoxed

Read two books, one from Book 1 AND one from Book 2.

Book 1: In Japanese mythology a Kitsune is a magical shapeshifting fox that can have up to nine tails. One, five, seven, and nine tails are the most common numbers in folk stories. Read a book that is #1, #5, #7 or #9 in a series. Series are identified on GR as (series title, #) and are listed in the metadata linked to a series list.

Book 2: There are thirteen different kinds of Kitsune, each with a corresponding element, listed as follows: Heaven (or Celestial or Prime), Void (or Dark), Wind, Spirit, Fire, Earth, River, Ocean, Mountain, Forest, Thunder, Time, Sound. Read a book with one of those words in the title or subtitle. Plurals and possessives only, no other variations.

Celestial/Prime/Dark Void/Dark are all options

Can the Kitsune be in the series title? I'm trying to find a home for The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger

Series titles are not included, but Dark appears in the title of this one and we go by the Goodreads record.
Title: subtitle (series title#)

Cool.

Would TimeStorm work? Timestorm is just one word, so I'm not sure if that qualifies as the word time.

Any word on this? Sorry if the question is dumb, I just want to be sure before I buy the book.

Sorry, I never saw the notification.
"Plurals and possessives only, no other variations." - Timestorm is a compound word - they don't work for this task

So hyphenated words don't count:

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Thanks
