“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 Wish Granter (Ravenspire #2) by C.J. Redwine
Out: 2/14
From Goodreads:
An
epic, romantic, and action-packed fantasy inspired by the tale of
Rumpelstiltskin, about a bastard princess who must take on an evil fae to save
her brother’s soul, from C.J. Redwine, the New York Times bestselling author of
The Shadow Queen. Perfect for fans of
Graceling and the Lunar Chronicles.
The
world has turned upside down for Thad and Ari Glavan, the bastard twins of Súndraille’s
king. Their mother was murdered. The royal family died mysteriously. And now Thad sits on the throne of a kingdom
whose streets are suddenly overrun with violence he can’t stop.
Growing
up ignored by the nobility, Ari never wanted to be a proper princess. And when Thad suddenly starts training Ari to
take his place, she realizes that her brother’s ascension to the throne wasn’t
fate. It was the work of a Wish Granter
named Alistair Teague who tricked Thad into wishing away both the safety of his
people and his soul in exchange for the crown.
So
Ari recruits the help of Thad’s enigmatic new weapons master, Sebastian Vaughn,
to teach her how to fight Teague. With
secret ties to Teague’s criminal empire, Sebastian might just hold the key to
discovering Alistair’s weaknesses, saving Ari’s brother---and herself.
But
Teague is ruthless and more than ready to destroy anyone who dares stand in his
way—and now he has his sights set on the princess. And if Ari can’t outwit him, she’ll lose
Sebastian, her brother…and her soul.
Why I’m Waiting:
I
really enjoyed The Shadow Queen (review) so I’m excited to see what else this
world has to offer. Plus I never knew
much of the Rumpelstiltskin story other than from Once Upon a Time and I really
enjoy the character so I’m thrilled to see this idea play out.
