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 by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.
This week’s Can’t Wait offering – The Shadow Weaver – Book 1 of the Sha
dow Weaver series by MacyKate Connolly
#children’s #fantasy
Emmeline has grown up with a gift. Since the time she was a baby she has been able to control shadows. And her only friend and companion is her own shadow, Dar.
Disaster strikes when a noble family visits their home and offers to take Emmeline away and cure her of magic…
I loved the cover and when I read the blurb, I thought it sounded cool and rather different – how interesting to find someone who can control the shadows, which tend to be frightening and find that they are the pursued? This one is due out at the beginning of January, so I’ll be reading and reviewing it just after Christmas
