Waiting on Wednesday (#263): Smoke in the Sun by Renée Ahdieh


"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:


Smoke in the Sun by Renée Ahdieh
Book Two of the Flame in the Mist series
Publisher: G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: June 5, 2018

Summary (from Goodreads):

The highly anticipated sequel to Flame in the Mist—an addictive, sumptuous finale that will leave readers breathless from the bestselling author of The Wrath and the Dawn.

After Okami is captured in the Jukai forest, Mariko has no choice—to rescue him, she must return to Inako and face the dangers that have been waiting for her in the Heian Castle. She tricks her brother, Kenshin, and betrothed, Raiden, into thinking she was being held by the Black Clan against her will, playing the part of the dutiful bride-to-be to infiltrate the emperor's ranks and uncover the truth behind the betrayal that almost left her dead. 

With the wedding plans already underway, Mariko pretends to be consumed with her upcoming nuptials, all the while using her royal standing to peel back the layers of lies and deception surrounding the imperial court. But each secret she unfurls gives way to the next, ensnaring Mariko and Okami in a political scheme that threatens their honor, their love and very the safety of the empire.

I have been dying to see the cover of this book, so I could post it as my Waiting on Wednesday choice! I am so excited for this book. Five months and it's here!

    Yes, the first one is still on my list of reads, but neat that the 2nd book has its cover reveal. It is a stunning one.

    I had a much better experience with Flame in the Mist than I did with her other series, so I'm definitely gonna be reading this sequel.

    I can't believe this book is coming out in only FIVE. MONTHS. It seems like just yesterday I was shouting to the world about my love of The Rose and the Dagger. I can't wait for it too, and I'm IN LOVE with the cover :D

    I didn't love the first one, so I'm not sure if I'll find time to continue with this sequel. But wow, I agree, the cover is gorgeous!
