“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:
Obsidian and Stars (Ivory & Bone #2) by Julie
Eshbaugh
Out: 6/13
From Goodreads:
In
the sequel to Ivory and Bone—the prehistoric fantasy novel that New York Times
bestselling author Amie Kaufman described as a “richly crafted world of
life-and-death stakes”—the story shifts to Mya’s viewpoint as vengeful
adversaries force her to flee the life she once knew.
After
surviving the chaotic battle that erupted after Lo and the Bosha clan attacked,
now Mya is looking ahead to her future with Kol. All the things that once felt so uncertain
are finally falling into place. But the
same night as Kol and Mya’s betrothal announcement, Mya’s brother Chev reveals
his plan to marry his youngest sisters Lees to his friend Morsk. The only way to avoid this terrible turn of
events, Morsk informs Mya when he corners her later, is for Mya to take Lee’s
place and marry him herself.
Refusing
to marry anyone other than he beloved, and in an effort to protect her sister,
Mya runs away to a secret island with Lees.
And though it seems like the safest place to hide until things back home
blow over, Mya soon realizes she’s been followed. Lurking deep in the recesses of this
dangerous place are rivals from Mya’s past whose thirst for revenge exceeds all
reason.
With
the lives of her loved ones on the line, Mya must make a move before the
enemies of her past become the undoing of her future.
Why I’m Waiting:

ReplyDeleteI know I love the cover and even better it matches the first book.

I'm right on board with you!
DeleteI still need to read Ivory and Bone. Knowing this is coming out in June gives me great motivation to get moving on my reading though. Hope you enjoy this when it comes out!
ReplyDeleteHey no rush waiting now means less time between them.
DeleteI didn't love the first book, but I might read this one! I sort of wish this series were a duology. It'll be interesting to see how the author makes the story into a trilogy. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week, Eve. =)
