"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman
Book Two of the Seraphina series
Publisher: Random House
Publication Date: March 10, 2015
Summary (from Goodreads):
Seraphina took the literary world by storm with 8 starred reviews and numerous “Best of” lists. At last, her eagerly awaited sequel has arrived—and with it comes an epic battle between humans and dragons.
The kingdom of Goredd: a world where humans and dragons share life with an uneasy balance, and those few who are both human and dragon must hide the truth. Seraphina is one of these, part girl, part dragon, who is reluctantly drawn into the politics of her world. When war breaks out between the dragons and humans, she must travel the lands to find those like herself—for she has an inexplicable connection to all of them, and together they will be able to fight the dragons in powerful, magical ways.
As Seraphina gathers this motley crew, she is pursued by humans who want to stop her. But the most terrifying is another half dragon, who can creep into people’s minds and take them over. Until now, Seraphina has kept her mind safe from intruders, but that also means she’s held back her own gift. It is time to make a choice: Cling to the safety of her old life, or embrace a powerful new destiny?
I read Seraphina over two years ago, before blogging, when the book had its brown/tan cover. I NEED this sequel!
I still haven't read Seraphina, but I've heard great things about the book. I hope I get the chance to read them! Great pick Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteIt was okay, when I read it a few years ago! I definitely want to re-read it. Thank you, Anatea!
DeleteOOoh nice! I have the first one to read in my TBR Mountain of Doom! Found it at Half Price books for a steal during the Labor day sale! Can't wait to read that one and then hopefully this one!

ReplyDeleteBut now you have! I'm glad you're liking fantasy more, Brooke :D Thank you!

ReplyDeleteGreat pick Alyssa!
YAY! When I read book one, it had the brown cover. I kind of want both LOL.

YAY! I hope you go read Seraphina at some point! You're very welcome.
DeleteDespite owning a copy of Seraphina since pretty much the time it first came out, I am ashamed to admit that I STILL haven't read it. And that's DESPITE ALL my blogger friends telling me I NEED to do so *cringe* But with the sequel coming out soon now, I will definitely be fixing my problem. Soon! I hope you can get your hands on Shadow Scale ASAP!! Awesome pick ^^ :)

DeleteNew to me but sounds good and nice cover. Hope you get to read it soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover! Thank you, Brandi!
DeleteI haven't read Seraphina, but two years for a sequel is a long time (at least in blogging years :)
ReplyDeleteRight?! Seriously though!
DeleteI still need to read Seraphina, which I heard is pretty good. I do like the cover for this one a lot.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
You should - it is great!
DeleteOh, I haven't even heard of Seraphina, let alone read it yet, but this series sounds really interesting, I am going to have to check it out! Great pick, hope you love it :)
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
Now you have! Thank you, Shannon ;D
DeleteI've been wanting to read it for a while, but I'm not that into dragons so it wasn't on my NEED NOW list, and then I saw how many pages and it kept going down the list (but this was before I started venturing outside my comfort zone) so do want to read it when I can. :) Hope the sequels worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteWoot! I'm glad to hear that! But yeah, it is pretty large. I hope so too!!
DeleteOooooo sounds very intriguing! Just this past year I got into dragons! I blame The Hobbit movies! Haha! Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! I hope you enjoy this one, Laura. You're welcome!
DeleteI also first read it over two years ago, SO MUCH LOVE, but then I re-read it a few weeks ago. <3 AND EVEN BETTER. Damn. You need to re-read Seraphina too. SO GOOD :D I am dying to read this sequel too. <3 I want it so badly. Sigh. Awesome pick Alyssa :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely plan on re-reading the book! I hope you and I enjoy Shadow Scale, Carina!
DeleteArg, yes!!!! I need this in my life now. Why must we wait so loooong? ): I definitely need to re-read Seraphenia, haha. Great pick, Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteI hope we enjoy Shadow Scale when we read it, Cyn!!
DeleteI haven't even read Seraphina, but I've heard good things! I'll have to see reviews for this one before I decide anything. :P I hope you love it! Two years is a hell of a long time to wait.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, awesome things! I hope it was worth the wait ;D
