"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:
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
Book Two of the Throne of Glass series
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Publication Date: August 27, 2013
Summary (from Goodreads):
An assassin’s loyalties are always in doubt.
But her heart never wavers.
After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.
Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice.
Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?
I cannot WAIT to read this book! I loved Throne of Glass, and I love fantasy in general. "Team" Dorian! Although Chaol is growing on me, for some reason. And I do appreciate the cover change, even if it is mid-series.
What are you waiting for this week?
Quite a popular pick lately! Hope you enjoy this as much as the first one!

ReplyDeleteNatflix&Books' WoW
It is an amazing fantasy novel! :D
DeleteI haven't read Throne of Glass yet, but it looks really good. Awesome pick, Alyssa! (:
ReplyDeleteI hope you do sometime! ^_^
DeleteAlthough I wasn’t wow’d by the first cover I like it a lot better than this. This looks like a cartoon. A kick-ass cartoon but still. Plus, WHY DO PUBLISHERS CHANGE COVERS?!?
ReplyDeleteI am not a big Fantasy fan but I did like the first book. But I’m totally NOT Team Dorian. Team Chaol!
I know what you about being "cartoon"-ish, because I thought the same thing! It's grown on me though. I love fantasy, and I love Dorian! I wouldn't mind Chaol though. He's grown on me as well :)
DeleteTeam Dorian -- no way :(
ReplyDeleteTeam Chaol!!!!
Thanks for stopping by my WoW! Jen @ YA Romantics
He's growing on me! ^_^
DeleteI've had the first book on my shelf for months! I need to read this! Thanks for the reminder and now I'm excited to read this one too.
ReplyDeleteRead it! It's definitely one of my favorite fantasy books :)
DeleteI wasn't a huge fan of Throne of Glass, but you cannot deny those covers are freakin' awesome :D
ReplyDeleteAwww, that's too bad! And I really do like the cover change. Thanks, Krista!
DeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick sweetie ;) Haven't read book one yet, but I hope you will love this sequel :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my WoW. <3
Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
