"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:
A Crown of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi
Book Two of The Star-Touched Queen series
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Publication Date: March 28, 2017
Summary (from Goodreads):
When Gauri, the princess of Bharata, is captured by her kingdom’s rivals, she can only find help in Vikram, the cunning prince of an enemy kingdom. Unsatisfied with royal life, Vikram offers Gauri a chance to win back her kingdom in exchange for her battle prowess. They set aside their differences and team up to compete in the Tournament of Wishes, wherein the Lord of Wealth promises a wish to the victor. Every which way they turn new trials will test their wit and strength. But what Gauri and Vikram soon discover is that there’s nothing more dangerous than what they most desire.
I liked The Star-Touched Queen and am definitely looking forward to reading its companion novel. This cover is so pretty!
Nice cover! I can't get over how many awesome YA covers there are these days, Even sometimes for a book I have no interest in, the cover says buy me. lol! This looks like a good series though.
ReplyDeleteA lot of them have been really amazing! I'd probably pick up this one even if I were unfamiliar with it because of the cover. :D
DeleteI agree the cover is pretty! I haven't read The Star-Touched Queen. Hope you like this one.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
Ooh nice! Such a pretty cover! I was sadden that I couldn't enjoy The Star-Touched Queen more. Not sure what I'll do about this one. Hope you enjoy it once you read it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!

Awww! I know what you mean though - it was a 3.5-star read from me, which is pretty positive but not "love". Thank you, Jessica!
DeleteThat cover is gorgeous! I haven't been able to get my hands on the first book yet but I definitely want to read it at some point.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
I hope you get a chance to do so, Stephanie! ^_^
DeleteThese books are gorgeous, right? I still haven't read TSQ but one of these days...maybe I'll wait and binge read the series:-) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey are! It's a companion series, so you could read one or the other or both. You're welcome!
DeleteI still haven't read the first one to this series. This one looks especially interesting!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great week,

ReplyDeleteOh darn I still haven't read the first book. Thanks for the reminder. Looks like a great series too :)
ReplyDeleteI personally think it is!
DeleteI'm sooooo excited for this book. I can't wait! It's going to be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,

What a gorgeous cover! This sounds great
ReplyDeletemy WoW
The cover really is great!
DeleteThis cover is even prettier than the first one! I really liked the first one (tho not loved) so I'm definitely going to give the sequel a try!
ReplyDeleteI agree, the cover is great! And I also liked, not loved, but am still looking forward to this one. ^_^
DeleteI love both of the covers, though I still haven't read the first book, I've heard so many great things about it. Will definitely have to read it soon. :)

It's a great book! I didn't love it but I liked it.
DeleteGreat pick! I liked the first book so I'm hoping this one will be even better.
ReplyDeleteI hope so!
DeleteI haven't read the first book in this series. I hope you enjoy reading this one!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Thank you, Sandra!
DeleteThe cover! I want to read this too!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI haven't read the first book, but I'm already in love with this cover!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it when you read it!
Thank you, Lis!
DeleteI haven't read the first one yet. But I will. Soon. And I just love that cover. I hope you get to read, and enjoy, it soon. Thanks for sharing, and for stopping by my WoW earlier. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful! You're very welcome, Petra. ^_^
DeleteThe Star Touched Queen definitely caught my interest more than I expected, and I'm very interested to read this and see what else will happen in this world. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WOW
Oooo, you should, Lisa! Thank you. =)
DeleteThat's too bad you didn't like Nemesis. I wasn't a huge fan of Anna Banks but I was hoping Nemesis would be good. Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to read The Star Touched Queen but I just haven't had the time. I think I'll wait till this one comes out so I won't have to wait :)
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Aneta @ Angelic Book Reviews
Yeah, Nemesis was good, but Sepora kind of ruined things. Meh!
DeleteThe Star-Touched Queen was interesting! Not amazing (for me), but good. Binge-reading the two books sounds great!
You're welcome, Aneta. :D
I never read The Star-Touched Queen. I guess I should...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, how is this a companion novel? Is it different characters or something like that?
Genesis @ Latte Nights Reviews
This one is about the sister of the protagonist of book one! Trust me, if you read book one, you'll be dying to read Gauri's story. What happened during that time that she wasn't mentioned, in book one?! We must know! ;)
DeleteI love the covers for this series. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou do the same! <3
DeleteHaven't started this series but it sounds great! Hope book two is awesome for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cyn!
DeleteYay :D Stunning pick Alyssa. <3 I haven't read book one yet, but soooon. I'm pretty curious about it :) I hope you will love this companion a bunch. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carina! I hope so too. ^_^
DeleteHi Alyssa sorry it's taken me so long to come by! I can't wait to read The Star-Touched Queen, I've heard so many great things. It's exciting to hear that A Crown of Wishes is a companion novel rather than a sequel. Can't wait to read what you think.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading
Rachel @ Paein-and-Ms4Tune
PS absolutely gorgeous covers. I think I'd buy them just for that reason.
No worries! I'm glad you had time to stop by. I hope to get the chance to read this novel, because it should be awesome. =) Thank you!
