“Waiting
On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that
spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. Basically books that are not yet out that we
are dying to get our hands on. This
week’s pick is:
The Speaker (Sea of Ink & Gold #2) by Traci Chee
Out: 11/7
From Goodreads:
Having
barely escaped the clutches of the Guard, Sefia and Archer are back on the run,
slipping into the safety of the forest to tend to their wounds and plan their
next move. Haunted by painful memories,
Archer struggles to overcome the trauma of his past with the impressors, whose
cruelty plagues him whenever he closes his eyes. But when Sefia and Archer happen upon a crew
of impressors in the wilderness, Archer finally finds a way to combat his
nightmares: by hunting impressors and
freeing the boys they hold captive.
With
Sefia’s help, Archer travels across the kingdom of Deliene rescuing boys while
she continues to investigate the mysterious Book and secrets it contains. But the more battles they fight, the more
fights Archer craves, until his thirst for violence threatens to transform him
from the gentle boy Sefia knows to a grim warrior with a cruel destiny. As Sefia begins to unravel the threads that
connect Archer’s fate to her parents’ betrayal of the Guard so long ago, she and
Archer must figure out a way to subvert the Guard’s plans before they are
ensnared in a war that will pit kingdom against kingdom, leaving their future
and the safety of the entire world hanging in the balance.
Why I’m Waiting:
I
really enjoyed The Reader and look forward to seeing what happens next with
this world. I hope my Archer doesn’t
turn evil though.
