Julius Fox

The burden of being a prime minister is heavy for Julius Fox. He finds himself in the thick of planning to relocate with his fellow foxes, but he is surrounded by troubles on all sides. First, his love, Felicity, might be cheating, and he fears losing her. Also, Shadowfox, the notorious serial killer, might be one of the foxes joining the foxdom to relocate.

Amidst this pandemonium, Julius Fox finds the world much more complicated than meets the eye as he discovers more dangers that threaten to destroy life. John Exe’s Julius Fox is about a fox leader who races to save his kind while battling multiple challenges that get more intense and volatile as the story progresses.

Prepare for a highly engaging read since John’s plot is constantly busy with multiple twists and new characters. From witches and zombies to aliens and vampires, the book’s blend of character groups offers readers an opportunity to experience a unique tale that merges various attractive fantasy themes.

The plot centers on animal characters that act calculated and organized, which reminded me of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. However, the animals are in a state of transformation and becoming more familiar with the human world. For example, Julius Fox shares his desire to “learn more about this music and, perchance, even endeavor to perform it” after hearing about music and listening to rock and roll songs.

The book’s unique language in conversations, which is described as medieval English, adds to its unique atmosphere. Though I found it fun to read words like “verily” and “doth” in conversations, I appreciated that the rest of the book was written in regular, straightforward English.

As much as I loved its engaging themes, the book’s fast pace and its large collection of themes felt uncomfortable. Some themes are underdeveloped, and some characters have very minor roles, leading to a loosely connected story. I wished to see more of Cyril the Squirrel, Reginald Rat, and some other characters that I had already started to like while I was reading the book.

Julius Fox offers a mentally stimulating experience with its unique themes, complete with stories about the earth’s history and scenes involving other realms. John’s metaphoric story engenders deep thoughts about humanity’s impact on the earth and how it affects other living organisms. All in all, when it comes to offering a thrilling experience with unpredictable twists and thought-provoking themes, Julius Fox has got you covered. Give it a try, and you’ll find yourself losing track of time.
