“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:
A Torch Against the Night (An Ember in the Ashes
#2) by Sabaa Tahir
Out: 8/30
From Goodreads:
A
Torch Against the Night takes readers into the heart of the Empire as Laia and
Elias fight their way north to liberate Laia’s brother from the horrors of Kauf
Prison. Hunted by Empire soldiers,
manipulated by the Commandant, and haunted by their pasts, Laia and Elias must
outfox their enemies and confront the treacherousness of their own hearts.
In
the city of Serra, Helene Aquilla finds herself bound to the will of the Empire’s
twisted new leader, Marcus. When her
loyalty is questioned, Helene finds herself taking on a mission to prove
herself—a mission that might destroy her, instead.
Why I’m Waiting:
Because
An Ember in the Ashes (review) was AMAZING and I have been dying to know what
happens after that ending since finishing it!!! I want to see what blooms
between Laia and Elias as they spend more time together and how they go about
saving her brother when it seems the world is against them. Also the new leader….NOOOOO!!! Plus I rather liked Helene in the first book
and it looks like she is going to get her own story line possibly POV in this
which would be interesting.
What
are you waiting on? Tell me below what
you think of this title and leave a link to your WoW as well so I can check it
out!
An Ember in the Ashes was, hands down, my favorite book last year. I cannot wait for this one either (although I'm not excited about the Marcus part)!
ReplyDeleteHere is my WOW: https://notimefortinybookshelves.com/2016/05/11/wow/
I know I'm not sure how I feel about that part either. I'm also seriously concerned for Helene because....of stuff lol
DeleteYES! I absolutely loved An Ember in the Ashes, and I cannot wait to see where the story goes in this book. I also really loved Helene, I hope she has better luck in this second book, though I doubt she will... I can't even begin to guess what's going to happen, but I'm excited to find out!

I have bee trying to figure out what will happen but with so many moving parts it's impossible to know for sure and I'm just going to go for the ride!
DeleteI haven't seen the first book, but I can relate to wanting to know more about beloved characters. Enjoy! Here's mine: “THIS MUST BE THE PLACE”
