Waiting on The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights any upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

Release date: September 18, 2012

In the sequel to the acclaimed The Girl of Fire and Thorns, a seventeen-year-old princess turned war queen faces sorcery, adventure, untold power, and romance as she fulfills her epic destiny.

Elisa is the hero of her country. She led her people to victory against a terrifying enemy, and now she is their queen. But she is only seventeen years old. Her rivals may have simply retreated, choosing stealth over battle. And no one within her court trusts her-except Hector, the commander of the royal guard, and her companions. As the country begins to crumble beneath her and her enemies emerge from the shadows, Elisa will take another journey. With a one-eyed warrior, a loyal friend, an enemy defector, and the man she is falling in love with, Elisa crosses the ocean in search of the perilous, uncharted, and mythical source of the Godstone's power. That is not all she finds. A breathtaking, romantic, and dangerous second volume in the Fire and Thorns trilogy.

I recently read and loved Rae Carson's The Girl of Fire and Thorns. Check out my review. It thought it was generally a very imaginative and creative fantasy story, and there can never be too many of those! The advance reviews also seem pretty positive. Reading the first book so late after its publication actually seems to have been a good thing, since now I have barely any wait until the sequel is released!

What are you waiting on this week?

      haha no you're not crazy...at least not too much. And honestly? I could tell it would be Hector all along. The others were decoys. Now let's hope this romance is amazing!
