Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.
The follow-up to New York Times bestselling Truthwitch, next in a breathtaking YA fantasy series hailed by Alexandra Bracken as "a world you will want to inhabit forever."
On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a "witchery," a magical skill that sets them apart from others.
In this follow-up to New York Times bestselling Truthwitch, a shadow man haunts the Nubrevnan streets, leaving corpses in his wake—and then raising those corpses from the dead. Windwitch continues the tale of Merik—cunning privateer, prince, and windwitch.
Sigh...I STILL need to read Truthwitch, but hello binge reading!! LOL!
TITLE: Windwitch
AUTHOR: Susan Dennard
PUBLISHER: Tor Teen
GENRE: Fantasy YA
RELEASE DATE: January 10, 2017
In this modern day spin on Leroux’s gothic tale of unrequited love turned to madness, seventeen-year-old Rune Germain has a mysterious affliction linked to her operatic talent, and a horrifying mistake she’s trying to hide. Hoping creative direction will help her, Rune’s mother sends her to a French arts conservatory for her senior year, located in an opera house rumored to have ties to The Phantom of the Opera.
At RoseBlood, Rune secretly befriends the masked Thorn—an elusive violinist who not only guides her musical transformation through dreams that seem more real than reality itself, but somehow knows who she is behind her own masks. As the two discover an otherworldly connection and a soul-deep romance blossoms, Thorn’s dark agenda comes to light and he’s forced to make a deadly choice: lead Rune to her destruction, or face the wrath of the phantom who has haunted the opera house for a century, and is the only father he’s ever known.
So can't wait for this one! A Phantom of the Opera retelling sounds very nice indeed!!

RoseBlood is already on my list, but I didn't know about Windwitch and I think I'd better check Truthwitch as well!

ReplyDeleteI just read Truthwitch last month! I'm really looking forward to the sequel. I don't know if I'm going to read Roseblood. I'm still on the fence about it.
ReplyDeleteHere is my WoW!
YES to RoseBlood. However, I didn't love her Something Strange and Deadly series so I probably won't be reading this series, but I really hope you enjoy it. Have a great week.
