"Waiting On" Wednesday #4: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

By -
Feels like forever ago when I heard that Leigh was going back to the same universe as the Grisha Trilogy. However, my desire to get this book into my hands as soon as humanly possible for me has not diminished. When the cover and excerpt were released, my little fangirl heart nearly burst with happiness. Thanks to Breaking the Spine as always for hosting.




DETAILS:
  • Title: Six of Crows
  • Publisher: Henry Holt & Company
  • Publishing date: September 29, 2015
  • Author(s): Leigh Bardugo
  • Series: The Dregs #1
Wow! September might be that month for me this year, because it looks like a lot of what I am most anticipating in bookdom releases that month. Sucks to be me, huh?! September is not even a few months out. 

SYNOPSIS:
Game of Thrones meets Ocean's Eleven in this brand-new book in the world of the Grisha by New York Times-bestselling author Leigh Bardugo. Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone...
A convict with a thirst for revenge.
A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager.
A runaway with a privileged past.
A spy known as the Wraith.
A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. 
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. 
Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don't kill each other first.
While I am not a fan of comparing novels to other novels in an effort to project goodwill upon a book not yet reviewed or out to stand on its own merits... I do believe that based upon Leigh's other series, the Grisha Trilogy, that the Game of Thrones' reference fits. How excited are we that she is returning to this world?

      Most likely. She writes brilliantly, and has epic world-making skills. You want to visit the places she imagines and it's a wonderful feeling as a fantasy reader. Plus her leads are sexy and complex. Irresistibly so!

    I didn't enjoy The Grisha trilogy as much as most people but I'm still hoping to read this one. It sounds so interesting. Hopefully I'll find it better though, Nice pick! :)

      You know a lot of divisiveness in popularity happened in YA over some pretty popular books. I too experienced a why is everyone liking this book so much moment recently and it was weird, because usually I can be counted on to love the next big thing. As readers though, I think we forget that what we're going through and our personal preferences just don't fit sometimes with the words we're reading. Maybe you'll like these characters more. :)

      It's going to be amazing. I really am excited about this new series, but especially because it means more of the Grisha world to explore and see through Leigh's newest characters.

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. If you follow me on Goodreads, you'll know I'm about 21 books behind my goal of reading 100 books this year. No pressure! None, right? Anyone else panic when they log onto Goodreads or feel awfully proud when they're going on to write a review? That's me lately, LOL!  --> An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir --> Lock & Mori by Heather Petty --> Cress by Marissa Meyer --> Attachments by Rainbow Rowell --> Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell --> Half Wild by Sally Green --> Jackaby by William Ritter --> Read Between the Lines by Jo Knowles --> The DUFF by Kody Keplinger   --> My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories edited by Stephanie Perkins

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. So I am pretty pleased with this list. Unsurprising is how many of these authors are series creators. Really, yeah... I have a tendency to read all the books in a series whether I like the later books or not. OCD bookish tendencies, uhm... yeah.  Per usual, I shall link to the Goodreads pages of these authors in hopes of you finding someone you end up loving and supporting by either requesting a copy for your library or purchasing a copy for yourself. J. K. Rowling Of course, I have read all seven of the Harry Potter novels, the Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch Through the Ages, The Beedle Bard stories and Very Good Lives. Also, I read Casual Vacancy and own both the Robert Galbraith novels to date. Julia Quinn I have read every single book Julia Quinn has written. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. There's not a book out she's written that I have not read. I adore he

'Waiting On' Wednesday #18: The Shadow Queen by C. J. Redwine

Ever since this cover debuted, I have been waiting for a chance to make it my WoW choice. Isn't it gorgeous. So much love for this cover. Also, C. J. Redwine is delightfully real in real life despite having an awesomely fictional literary-perfect pen name. She also is such a fannish person that it's hard for me not to want to fan over her. She's a true asset to YA in all that she does and writes and social networks.  Seriously, look her up and then go buy her books, okay? Okay.  DETAILS: Title:  The Shadow Queen Publisher:  Balzer + Bray Publishing date:  February 23, 2016 Author(s):  C. J. Redwine Series:  Ravenspire #1 SUMMARY: Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and the life of her father. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common—magic. She’ll have to be stronger, fast
