is a weekly event that was originally hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This meme is a place that spotlights upcoming releases that we´re eagerly anticipating with pure joy. There are a lot of new books coming out each year and some of them catch my attention and will get a spotlight in my Waiting on Wednesday post. While some of them will finally end up here at my place, others won´t. I am joining Tressa at Wishful Endings and her meme Can´t-Wait Wednesday.
I “met” Julie Kagawa for the first time when I discovered her Talon books. And though I haven´t finished that series yet, I was literally hooked when I saw the cover of Shadow of the Fox being released on Twitter. My joy was immense when I found it under our Christmas tree and hope that I will be able to read it before this second one comes out in June. Now, with the news that the second book will be released later this year, I simply had to put it in one of my WoW´s. I love the blue in combination with the cover motive and the summary sounds very intriguing.

One thousand years ago, a wish was made to the Harbinger of Change and a sword of rage and lightning was forged. Kamigoroshi. The Godslayer. It had on task: to seal away the powerful demon Hakaimono. Now he has broken free. Kitsune shapeshifter Yumeko has one task: to take her piece of the ancient and powerful scroll to the Steel Feather temple in order to prevent the summoning of the Harbinger of Change, the great Kami Dragon who will grant one wish to whomever holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers. But she has a new enemy now. The demon Hakaimono, who for centuries was trapped in a cursed sword, has escaped and possessed the boy she thought would protect her, Kage Tatsumi of the Shadow Clan. Hakaimono has done the unthinkable and joined forces with the Master of Demons in order to break the curse of the sword and set himself free. To overthrow the empire and cover the land in darkness, they need one thing: The Scroll of a Thousand Prayers. As the paths of Yumeko and the possessed Tatsumi cross once again, the entire empire will be thrown into chaos.
And what are you waiting for? Let me know your thoughts about this one or leave me the link to your WoW and I check it out.
Happy reading & waiting on
I read Talon by Julie and I didn't like it, but a couple of bloggers have told me I should try something else. Maybe this would be a better fit. The cover is lovely. 👍✨
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the cover is really lovely. And maybe the others are right and this one fits your taste in books. Thanks for visiting my blog.
