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!
What book am I dying-of-impatience-because-I-want-it-to-be-here-but-damn-it's-not-yet, why is not yet here this week? The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows!!!
Goodreads Summary:
Wilhelmina has a hundred identities.
She is a princess. When the Indigo Kingdom conquered her homeland, Wilhelmina and other orphaned children of nobility were taken to Skyvale, the Indigo Kingdom’s capital. Ten years later, they are the Ospreys, experts at stealth and theft. With them, Wilhelmina means to take back her throne.
She is a spy. Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate Skyvale Palace to study their foes. They assume the identities of nobles from a wraith-fallen kingdom, but enemies fill the palace, and Melanie’s behavior grows suspicious. With Osprey missions becoming increasingly dangerous and their leader more unstable, Wil can’t trust anyone.
She is a threat. Wraith is the toxic by-product of magic, and for a century using magic has been forbidden. Still the wraith pours across the continent, reshaping the land and animals into fresh horrors. Soon it will reach the Indigo Kingdom. Wilhelmina’s magic might be the key to stopping the wraith, but if the vigilante Black Knife discovers Wil’s magic, she will vanish like all the others
Jodi Meadows introduces a vivid new fantasy full of intrigue, romance, dangerous magic, and one girl’s battle to reclaim her place in the world.
Why am I eagerly awaiting The Orphan Queen? Two main reasons: it's fantasy!! And it's by Jodi Meadows!! Also, I read the sampler and I'm simply dying to read the rest! I NEED MOOOORE!!
What are you all (im)patiently awaiting this week?
Nice! Seeing a lot of this one around! Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you Jessica! I cannot wait to get my hands on this one!
DeleteI so enjoyed this one Pili! Epic cliffhanger warning, but other than that I thought it was amazing. I can't wait to compare notes with you:)
ReplyDeleteGood to be warned about the cliffy, Jenny! I cannot wait till I can read it and flail about it!
DeleteI'm excited about this one too, but I'm not dying like you are, b/c someone warned me that what I'd be approved for on edelweiss was in fact a preview. Otherwise, I'd have walked right into that trap. And I don't do previews. It's like waving a red flag in front of a bull. And I'm the bull ;)
ReplyDeletePreviews can be both a curse and a blessing! A curse because if you like the book, it's only a part of it!!! And a blessing because you can avoid books you wouldn't like!
DeleteMy exact feelings about what you said about samplers above! I hope you get the book soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you La! I'm getting a Kindle edition, so it'll be in my hands at midnight release day! =D
