"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:
Ignite by Sara B. Larson
Book Two of the Defy series
Publisher: Scholastic
Publication: January 6, 2015
Summary (from Goodreads):
Murder, abductions, and forbidden romance abound in this thrilling sequel to Sara B. Larson's acclaimed YA debut, DEFY.
Alexa remains by the newly crowned King Damian’s side as his guard, ever committed to helping him rebuild Antion and reclaim the hope of Antion's people, despite continuing to harbor a secret love for him. However, when another threat to Damian and his kingdom emerges, and blame is cast on their newly forged allies from Blevon, Alexa knows things are not what they seem. With the fate of her nation hanging in the balance once again, will Alexa be able to protect her king and uncover the true enemy -- before it's too late?
I really enjoyed the first book, Defy! Read my review, if you're interested. I cannot wait to read this (gorgeous and very purple) sequel!
Great choice! I haven't read Defy though I have seen it around the blogosphere a lot so it must be pretty good. I may have to read it before this one comes out!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great! A wonderful fantasy read, despite the possible love triangle. Good choice, Krystianna!
DeleteOoh, I need to read Defy (though I'm a little scared of the love triangle in it, haha). But I do love the purple, too! Thanks for sharing Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW at Bookmunchies (:
The love triangle IS intimidating! I'm trying not to think about it too much. This is, after all, only a duology!
DeleteAaah, I need to read Defy!! It's on my list for buying once I'm in the US this summer and I can't wait to read it! Great pick though :)
ReplyDeleteMy WoW .
Zareena @ Books and Books
Ooo! I hope you get it, Zareena! And I hope you love it!
DeleteI don't think I'll end up reading Defy unless after you read this one you tell me it's awesome and an "Alyssa pushes" book! But I love the very purple cover and how it matches the first one with the continued use of weapons!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely let you know if these is a series to follow, Pili! I liked Defy, but it all depends on how the love triangle is resolved...
DeleteEveryone raved about the first book of this series and that makes me want to read it too. I agree the cover is so pretty and I love it when they match!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely check out the series, if not for the covers alone ;D
DeleteSeeing a lot of this lately! Hope you love it too!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Thank you!
DeleteI have this on my nook. I have to make time to read it. Especially after the gorgeous cover of the new title!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely do so, Bonnie!
DeleteThis one has a pretty cover indeed. I hope you love it when it finally comes out.

Thank you, Grace!
DeleteThis one looks good and I have been meaning to read the 1st, hope you get to read it soon.
ReplyDeleteYou should read Defy! Thank you, Brandi!
DeleteI'll probably be skipping this one. Defy was my first eARC, my first book read in 2014, and my first 1-star of the year. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm sorry to hear that :D
DeleteI love this cover, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love this cover! That's such a pretty purple and the gold bow looks so cool. I'm excited for this one too. Defy went well for me.
ReplyDeleteI love the purple and gold! And I'm so glad you enjoyed Defy, Kaitlin.
DeleteAnother pretty amazing cover! I haven't read Defy, but I fully intend to :)
ReplyDeleteYES! They just keep getting better and better, right?! And you should read Defy! I hope you love it :D
DeleteSorry honey, I don't feed spammers.
ReplyDeleteI really need to start this series!! I'm thinking about buying the audiobook! I love both of the covers!! I hope you enjoying it when you read it!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Alyssa!
YES! Do it! Audiobooks are a good choice! Thank you, Alicia ^_^
DeleteThis sounds like a series I'd enjoy! Nice choice!
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting my TT

Thank you!
DeleteI'm loving this cover! It goes so well with Defy, which I still need to read actually. Great pick!! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you read Defy, I hope you like it, Lisa! Thank you!
DeleteAck, pretty cover. <3 Unsure about book one, but I do think they sound interesting :D I'm glad you are excited for this one. Fingers crossed you will love it. <3
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - especially with the love triangle. Thank you, Carina!
DeleteDefy was recommended to me recently. I'm hoping I like it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do too!
DeleteI didn't love the first book, but I'm certainly interested to see what happens next! The cover really is pretty, and I bet it'll look so good with the first, oh my gosh. I hope you love this when you read ittt! :D
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - I wasn't blown away, but I liked it, and I definitely can't not know what happens next. I want to put the two side by side and just STARE ;) Thank you so much, Rachel!
DeleteHadn't heard of this one before, thanks for introducing me to it :D
ReplyDeleteThis was my WoW
You're welcome!
