"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:
Forest of Ruin by Kelley Armstrong
Book Three of the Age of Legends series
Publisher: HarperTeen
Publication Date: April 5, 2016
Summary (from Goodreads):
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong comes the breathtaking conclusion to the Age of Legends trilogy, perfect for fans of Graceling and Game of Thrones.
The empire rests on the edge of a knife, and sisters Ashyn and Moria are the handle and the blade. Desperate to outmaneuver the evil Alvar Kitsune, whose hold on the people grows stronger every day, Emperor Tatsu begs Moria to put aside past grievances and ally with Gavril—at least long enough to make an attempt on Alvar’s life. Meanwhile, reunited with her long-lost grandfather, Ashyn discovers that she is the key to a ritual that could reawaken an ancient dragon and turn the tide of the coming battle in their favor.
But with lies and betrayal lurking around every corner, Ashyn and Moria will have to decide once and for all where their allegiances are. And it may not be where their hearts would lead them....
In this breathtaking final book in her epic trilogy the Age of Legends, #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong blends fantasy, action, and romance to give readers the unforgettable ending they’ve been waiting for.
I loved the first two books in the series! I cannot wait to read this conclusion novel. Also, isn't the cover stunning?! :D
Okay so I have the first book I got it a while back but I have yet to pick it up. I plant to though, it's a book a friend and I share and plan to read together so once I do I can bet I'll be eagerly wanting this one. More motivation to finish it and book two before April. What I'm waiting on.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely read it, Eve! There are a bazillion books to read, as always, so I understand. :D

ReplyDeleteI love the covers of the books in this series! I hope it's kickbutt (I'm sure it will be.) Thank YOU, Cyn!
DeleteAh, that is such a pretty cover :D Stunning pick this week Alyssa. <3 Thank you for sharing about it :) I have yet to read book one.. but I own both, so SOON :D So glad you love these books. Hope this final one will be amazing :) I still haven't read the final one in her previous YA, despite loving book one and two.. the romance was so fucked up in book three, ugh, and triangle, so I stayed away from it :p Sadly. Anyway. You are awesome :D
ReplyDeleteYou should read them! I'm not sure what everyone is talking about, in terms of love triangle. Honestly, I don't really see one. But who knows! I hope this one will be the best of the series.
DeleteThank you!
Aah, every time I see this series I tell myself to pick it up! I love Kelley Armstrong's books so I'm not sure why I haven't started them yet... Anyway, thanks for stopping by, Alyssa :)
