Waiting on Wednesday

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted at Breaking the Spine.

Shadow of the Fox

by Julie Kagawa

Publisher: Harper Collins Australia
Publication: October 30, 2018

A single wish will spark a new dawn.

Every millennium the missing pieces of the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers are hunted, for they hold the power to call the great Kami Dragon from the sea and ask for any one wish.

As a temple burns to the ground Yumeko escapes with its greatest treasure – the first piece of the scroll. And when fate thrusts her into the path of a mysterious samurai she knows he seeks what she has. Kage is under order to kill those who stand in his way but will he be able to complete his mission? Will this be the dawn that sees the dragon wake?

Enter a beautiful and perilous land of shapeshifters and samurai, kami and legends, humans and demons…a world in which Japanese mythology and imagination blend together.

I absolutely love Julie Kagawa's series' most notably the Talon series that she recently finished with Inferno, and I also love The Blood of Eden, so having an upcoming Kagawa release is beyond exciting! 

And if JULIE KAGAWA wasn't enough to get your attention, how about some Japanese mythology? I have a cousin who is Japanese; shoutout to you Hiroshi Shoji (yes that's my cousin's real name). I've also been dying to visit Japan, just everything from their mythology, history to their customs are so intriguing and interesting. 

Are you a Julie Kagawa fan? If so, what's your favourite book? Have you read a Japanese mythology based book? Which was it, and did you  like it?
