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😊

What a gorgeous cover this is, and originaly story! Greta pick!
Thank you – I’m a sucker for an eye-catching cover…:)
I love the cover, and it does have a unique premise. Thanks for sharing, Sarah!
You’re welcome – it’s a great cover, isn’t it?
I love the idea of being able to control shadows. I remember seeing this cover some time ago and loving it. Where were books like this when I was a kid?
I know! There are so many fabulous books out there for children these days:)
wow I love how this one sounds! And I was looking for some good children book to add to the TBR this week! Thanks for sharing Sarah!
You’re very welcome – I really liked the sound of this one:)
You always find the most interesting books to feature! Like you, I really like the cover, but then reading the blurb. What a great premise! I look forward to reading your thoughts on this one, Sarah.
Thank you, Wendy:). I admit I really fell in love with the premise.
Looks like it could be a good story. Great pick!

You’re welcome, Ashley. It’s available on Netgalley as an arc if you are a member there…
I love the cover! Me & my shadow, eh? Sounds magical!
It really does sound marvellous, doesn’t it?
It sure sounds like a wonderful story all wrapped up so pretty, Sarah:)
Oh, it does, doesn’t it Laura? I’m hoping it doesn’t disappoint when I get around to reading it!
I want to try a few fantasy books next year and I’m definitely intrigued by the blurb! It sounds very unique and like a good one to add to my list!
I hope it’s a good read – I’ll be reviewing it in due course, Katherine.
That cover is amazing and I like how unique the story itself sounds.
Yes – it was the cover that first drew me, too:)
You know, I usually don’t read middle-grade books, but this one sounds SO appealing! And that cover ROCKS! So I’m adding this book to my Goodreads shelves. I’m VERY intrigued by the concept, which I’ve never come across before.
Thanks for sharing! Thanks as well for dropping by and commenting on my CWW post!! ❤ ❤ ❤ 🙂 🙂 🙂

You’re very welcome, Vi – thank you for popping by and have a great weekend:)
I love both the cover and the blurb. I wish I was younger and the target audience…
Yes, this was an interesting, layered read that was more complex than I expected.
