“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 Crown’s Fate (The Crown’s Game #2) by Evelyn
Skye
Out: 5/16
From Goodreads:
Perfect
fro fans of Shadow and Bone and Red Queen, The Crown’s Fate is the thrilling
sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Crown’s Game, an atmospheric
historical fantasy set in Imperial Russia.
Russia
is on the bring of great change. Pasha’s
coronation approaches, and Vika is now the Imperial Enchanter, but the role she
once coveted may be more difficult—and dangerous—than she ever expected.
Pasha
is grappling with his own problems—his legitimacy is in doubt, the girl he
loves loathes him and he believes his best friend is dead. When a challenger to the throne emerges—and with
the magic in Russia growing rapidly—Pasha must do whatever it takes to keep his
position and protect his kingdom.
For
Nikolai, the ending of the Crown’s Game stung deeply. Although he just managed to escape death,
Nikolai remains alone, a shadow hidden in a not-quite-real world of his own
creation. But when he’s given a second
chance at life—tied to a dark price—Nikolai must decide just how far he’s
willing to go to return to the world.
With
revolution on the rise, dangerous new magic rearing up, and a tsardom up for
the taking, Vika, Nikolai, and Pasha must fight—or face the destruction of not
only their world but also themselves.
Why I’m Waiting:
I
really enjoyed The Crown’s Game (review) and that ending just wasn’t right! I needed more and OMG Nikolai I need him to
be okay. I just felt so bad for all
three of them stuck in bad spots with half information just enough to make bad
choices!
