Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
My pick this week is Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard
SPOILERS FOR RED QUEEN!
Here is the Goodreads synopsis
The thrilling second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Red Queen trilogy follows Mare Barrow on her mission to defeat the traitorous Maven.
Mare Barrow’s blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control.
The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind.
Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors.
But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat.
Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever?
The electrifying next installment in the Red Queen series escalates the struggle between the growing rebel army and the blood-segregated world they’ve always known—and pits Mare against the darkness of her own heart.
Kneel or bleed. Best tag line ever, right? Of course it is. I am excited to read the follow up to Red Queen which I loved. There is plenty of potential for this to become a really intense series and I cannot wait to see what direction Victoria takes the story in. Buzz for this one is going to continue to grow as movie rights have been snapped up and Elizabeth Banks is set to direct.
Expected release date - February 9, 2016
I haven't read the first book in this series. I hope you really enjoy reading this book.
