COYER SCAVENGER HUNT #23: READ A BOOK SET IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY: 2 POINTS

SUMMARY (FROM GOODREADS): A long, long time ago, before the world was as we know it, Izanami and Izanagi came into being. Two of the first of the ancient gods of Japan, they crafted the world from ink and their own imaginations. Izanagi wants, more than anything, to be with Izanami--but one moment of pride could tear them apart forever.

Yuki and Tanaka have been friends for as long as they can remember, but lately deeper feelings have been bubbling beneath the surface. How do they navigate the transition from friendship to true love without destroying the powerful bond between them?

Set a millennia apart, can these two couples, living parallel love stories, find their happily-ever-afters?

MY THOUGHTS: This was super quick to read. It doesn't really add a whole lot to the story line of the trilogy, so it's not a must read to follow the trilogy, but it's still nice to read to get a little bit of insight. Yuki was one of my favorite characters in the first two books in the Paper Gods trilogy, so I was glad to see a novella where she was one of the main focuses. This novella has me excited to pick up the third and final book in the series.

COVER: Again, another beautiful cover from the Paper Gods series. They are all just stunning.
