Waiting On Wednesday #77!!


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted at Breaking The Spine  that spotlights those can't-wait-to-get-my-hands-on-them books that we are eagerly awaiting!

This week the book that I'm making all the grabby hands at and whining about not getting an ARC of is Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard!!




Goodreads Summary:

"The poverty stricken Reds are commoners, living under the rule of the Silvers, elite warriors with god-like powers.

To Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from The Stilts, it looks like nothing will ever change.

Mare finds herself working in the Silver Palace, at the centre of
those she hates the most. She quickly discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy Silver control.

But power is a dangerous game. And in this world divided by blood, who will win?"



Why am I eagerly awaiting Red Queen? Well, look at that summary! Doesn't it sound fantastic? And I've seen some really positive reviews for this one from some of my blogging friends, so I'm very much excited about this one! I hope I can get to read it soon and love it as much as some of my friends!

What are you all (im)patiently awaiting this week?

  3. Was there a sampler for this? I seem to remember a sampler. Hmmm. My brain is getting old. I went to see if it was still on Netgalley the other day and it said preferred for Australia and the UK. I requested anyway, but got turned down. I am curious to hear what you think when you do read it because I have seen mixed reviews.

    1. It was on EW as far as I know, and yes also the AUS & UK Netgalley version. I've seen mixed reviews too, but it still sounds pretty cool!

  11. I read a review that compared this one to Red Rising so I'm a little intrigued. It does sound quiet interesting on its own as well and I like the cover as well. Nice pick!

  15. You'll LOVE Red Queen, Pili! Esp. if you loved Rutkoski's writing because they have the same dream-like quality, except that this one has a more Red Rising premise ;)

    1. Rutkoski's writing with a Red Rising premise? I don't think anyone could have sold this book to me better, Faye! Thank you!
