"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:
Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson
Book One of the Dance of Thieves series
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)
Publication Date: August 7, 2018
Summary (from Goodreads):
A new novel in the New York Times–bestselling Remnant Chronicles universe, in which a reformed thief and the young leader of an outlaw dynasty lock wits in a battle that may cost them their lives—and their hearts.
When the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son, Jase, becomes its new leader. Even nearby kingdoms bow to the strength of this outlaw family, who have always governed by their own rules. But a new era looms on the horizon, set in motion by a young queen, which makes her the target of the dynasty's resentment and anger.
At the same time, Kazi, a legendary former street thief, is sent by the queen to investigate transgressions against the new settlements. When Kazi arrives in the forbidding land of the Ballengers, she learns that there is more to Jase than she thought. As unexpected events spiral out of their control, bringing them intimately together, they continue to play a cat and mouse game of false moves and motives in order to fulfill their own secret missions.
I like spinoff series and this new trend of spinoff series and companion novels is fantastic! And I love the cover of this book. I'm sure this will be another good one by Pearson!
I am horrible! I am still behind on starting her other series. So many books never enough time. Maybe I will dive into this one on time ;) My CWW
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel! Happy reading, Eve. :D
DeleteAh yay, glad to hear this one's a spinoff rather than a continuation---I never did get around to reading the rest of the Remnant series. Even though I loved the first book!! Someday, ha. ;)
ReplyDeleteYes! I don't really blame you - the series got worse towards the end. :/
DeleteSoooo cannot wait for this one! I loved the Remnant Chronicles and can't wait to venture back to this world and meet new characters to love! Great pick!

Ha! It's sure to be a good one, Sherry. =)
DeleteCool, I didn't know about this! I love the cover as well, I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteRight? Thank you, Tammy!
DeleteI don't usually like spinoff series bc sometimes I just want to finish a fantasy world with one storyline, but this seems intriguing! I've never read Pearson's books - do you think I should? Recently I've been sooo picky with my fantasies.
ReplyDeleteWonderful feature!

I liked The Kiss of Deception and The Heart of Betrayal but honestly, the final book (The Beauty of Darkness) was no bueno. I hated it. But the series in general was pretty good. Honestly I would probably skip that series because of how truly awful book three was though. :O
DeleteThis one sounds excellent! I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteRight? Thank you, Kristyn!
DeleteThis one sounds good, also somehow I missed that this was in the same universe. Looks like I need to read the last book then!
ReplyDeleteSpinoff series! OMG Amber, the third book was awful (for me)! I hope you like it more than I did. :o
DeleteHaven't read from the author yet but this one sounds really good. And I'm digging the covers too!
ReplyDeleteI love this book's cover! Honestly I wouldn't mind just having the book and not necessarily reading it. LOL.
DeleteWhoa, that cover is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteRight?! I love it!
DeleteNew one for me and now I want it hehe Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYAY! My job here is done. ;)
DeleteOooh! This sounds like an awesome series! Great pick!

Thank you!
DeleteI haven't read any of Pearson's books (yet), but that cover is a true thing of beauty.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I love it!
DeleteOh I love the cover to this one! I read the first book of her other series, but didn't continue. I had no idea this was a spinoff, maybe I'll check it out. Hoping it's a good one!

You aren't missing out on too much, honestly. I hated book three. But I'm very curious about this spinoff series, so here we are!
DeleteI really want to read this series, I need to get to it! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday Post
Thank you! Happy reading!
DeleteI haven't read the original series, but how fun there is a spin-off for fans!!

This sounds really good. I haven't read the original series though. :P :(
ReplyDeleteI.. have only read her first book, and I did not love it. Ahh. So this won't be for me either :\ Sad face. It do look pretty, though :D And I hope you will end up loving it so so much Alyssa. <3 Great pick :)
