Waiting on Wednesday

I hate waiting...
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.


Mare Barrow’s blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control.

The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind.

Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors.

But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat.

Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever?


I just read Red Queen not too long ago and really liked it! While I couldn't get into the prequel, I am definitely excited for this one!!

TITLE: Glass Sword
AUTHOR: Victoria Aveyard
PUBLISHER: HarperTeen
GENRE: Fantasy/Dystopian
RELEASE DATE: February 9, 2016  



Seventeen years ago, an eclipse cloaked the kingdom of Relhok in perpetual darkness. In the chaos, an evil chancellor murdered the king and queen and seized their throne. Luna, Relhok’s lost princess, has been hiding in a tower ever since. Luna’s survival depends on the world believing she is dead.

But that doesn’t stop Luna from wanting more. When she meets Fowler, a mysterious archer braving the woods outside her tower, Luna is drawn to him despite the risk. When the tower is attacked, Luna and Fowler escape together. But this world of darkness is more treacherous than Luna ever realized.

With every threat stacked against them, Luna and Fowler find solace in each other. But with secrets still unspoken between them, falling in love might be their most dangerous journey yet. 



Super excited for this one because it just sounds so awesome! Love a good fantasy!! And Sophie is a favorite author of mine! So excited to see Victoria and Sophie when they tour for this in February!!

    Yes! I want both of them! I feel like these will be ones that I actually read not long after they come out rather than waiting a year because of the massive TBR lol. Great picks!

    I still need to read Red Queen. Reign of Shadows sounds like a retelling of Rapunzel, and I'm a huge fan of retellings, so I'm looking forward to check this one out.

    Thanks for stopping by my post and commenting!
