A Star from Kirkus!

12/15/2021

It's a STAR for A THOUSAND STEPS INTO NIGHT! ⭐ Thank you so much to Kirkus Reviews for the thoughtful review, which highlights so many different facets of the book, from the world-building to the twists to the themes:

"Empowered at times, powerless at others, Miuko comes across other women in dire situations, requiring her to question the cultural norms of what it means to be a female in an oppressive patriarchal society." ⭐ Read the whole thing here!

It's Real!

It’s real! ❄️ This is the first time I’ve ever seen We Are Not Free with both its National Book Award and Printz Honor stickers IN REAL LIFE. How beautiful. How shiny! 🌟 Because of the blur of the pandemic, sometimes it’s hard to believe these things actually happened, but they DID. They really, really did. So grateful today. ❤️

Four Months until A Thousand Steps into Night

STEPS INTO NIGHT MARCH 1, 2022 VAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW'
THREE MONTHS until A THOUSAND STEPS INTO NIGHT and I thought it’d be fun to share the first line with you! When I first set out to write this story, I knew I wanted it to be a little it beautiful, a little bit eerie, and a little bit tongue-in-cheek. It took a while to find the voice of this project, but I’m really proud of how it turned out! 💙 Pre-order for a folktale journey, a feminist fantasy, and Ghibli vibes!

Four Months Until A Thousand Steps into Night

11/1/2021

 
ARC of A Thousand Steps into Night by Traci Chee on a red background
FOUR MONTHS until A THOUSAND STEPS INTO NIGHT and ARCs have arrived! 🌙👹 Here’s what’s in store for you, coming March 1, 2022:

From New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award finalist, Traci Chee, comes a Japanese-influenced fantasy brimming with demons, adventure, and plans gone awry.

In the realm of Awara, where gods, monsters, and humans exist side by side, Miuko is an ordinary girl resigned to a safe, if uneventful, existence as an innkeeper’s daughter. But when Miuko is cursed and begins to transform into a demon with a deadly touch, she embarks on a quest to reverse the curse and return to her normal life. Aided by a thieving magpie spirit and continuously thwarted by a demon prince, Miuko must outfox tricksters, escape demon hunters, and negotiate with feral gods if she wants to make it home again. But with her transformation comes power and freedom she never even dreamed of, and she’ll have to decide if saving her soul is worth trying to cram herself back into an ordinary life that no longer fits her… and perhaps never did.
