Owlcrate i oktober innehöll bland annat boken Shadow of the fox. Jag har inte läst något av Julie Kagawa innan, men efter detta kommer jag kolla upp henne mer.
Det är en bok som utspelar sig i japan för länge sedan, men samuraier, kitsune-tsuki, spöken och demoner. Jag gillar mytologin och själva berättelsen med personerna som tillsammans ger sig ut i världen. När jag inte hade med mig boken så lyssnade jag på ljudboken, där var det tre uppläsare som läste från olika personers perspektiv. Bra!
Nu vill jag ha nästa bok i serien! Den ska komma nästa år och jag kommer garanterat att läsa den, vill veta hur det kommer att gå för alla!

"One thousand years
ago, the great Kami Dragon was summoned to grant a single terrible
wish—and the land of Iwagoto was plunged into an age of darkness and
chaos.
Now, for whoever holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers, a new wish will be granted. A new age is about to dawn.
Raised
by monks in the isolated Silent Winds temple, Yumeko has trained all
her life to hide her yokai nature. Half kitsune, half human, her skill
with illusion is matched only by her penchant for mischief. Until the
day her home is burned to the ground, her adoptive family is brutally
slain and she is forced to flee for her life with the temple’s greatest
treasure—one part of the ancient scroll.
There are many who would
claim the dragon’s wish for their own. Kage Tatsumi, a mysterious
samurai of the Shadow Clan, is one such hunter, under orders to retrieve
the scroll…at any cost. Fate brings Kage and Yumeko together. With a
promise to lead him to the scroll, an uneasy alliance is formed,
offering Yumeko her best hope for survival. But he seeks what she has
hidden away, and her deception could ultimately tear them both apart.
With
an army of demons at her heels and the unlikeliest of allies at her
side, Yumeko’s secrets are more than a matter of life or death. They are
the key to the fate of the world itself."
