Can't
Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Wishful Endings. Basically books that are not yet out that we
are dying to get our hands on. This
week’s pick is:
The Girl King by Mimi Yu
Out: 1/8/19
From
Goodreads:
All
hair the Girl King.
Sisters
LU AND Min have always understood their places as princesses of the Empire, Lu
knows she is destined to become the dynasty’s first female ruler, while Min is
resigned to a life in her shadow. Ten
their father declares their male cousin Set the heir instead—a betrayal that
sends the sisters down two very different paths.
Determined
to reclaim her birthright, Lu goes on the run.
She needs an alley—and an arm—if she is to succeed. Her quest leads her to Nokhai, the last
surviving wolf shapeshifter. Nok wants
to keep his identity secret, but finds himself forced into an uneasy alliance
with the girl whose family killed everyone he ever loved…
Alone
in the volatile court, Min’s hidden power awakens—a forbidden, deadly magic
that could secure Set’s reign…or allow Min to claim the throne herself. But there can only be one Emperor, and the
sisters’ greatest enemy could turn out to be each other.
Why I’m
Waiting:
This
one caught my attention because of the battle for the crown. I liked that it was supposed to be given to a
girl and that when it is taken away she (and possibly her sister) fight for
it. Plus wolf shapeshifter….yes
please!
What
are you waiting on? Tell me below what
you think of this title and leave a link to your CWW as well so I can check it
out.
I've seen this one before and I agree, it sounds great. Nice choice.
