What elements would you put on your list? Well, I had the pleasure of recently reading Julie Kagawa’s newest book, Shadow of the Fox, and for me it had pretty much everything I love in a good YA fantasy book. in Today’s episode I chat with Julie about how she created the incredible world and characters of this story, including pulling from Japanese myth, being inspired by anime, and how to put all your favorite elements into a book and blend them successfully. Stay tuned for that, and much more. This is the Ink Feather Podcast! Also we teamed up with her publisher Harlequin teen to give away a copy of Shadow of the fox!
