"Waiting on" Wednesday


"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's selection is:


BLOOD ROSE REBELLION
By: Rosalyn Eves
Published By: Knopf Books for Young Readers
Release Date: March 28, 2017
Preorder the Book: Amazon


Goodreads Summary: The thrilling first book in a YA fantasy trilogy for fans of Red Queen. In a world where social prestige derives from a trifecta of blood, money, and magic, one girl has the ability to break the spell that holds the social order in place.

Sixteen-year-old Anna Arden is barred from society by a defect of blood. Though her family is part of the Luminate, powerful users of magic, she is Barren, unable to perform the simplest spells. Anna would do anything to belong. But her fate takes another course when, after inadvertently breaking her sister’s debutante spell—an important chance for a highborn young woman to show her prowess with magic—Anna finds herself exiled to her family’s once powerful but now crumbling native Hungary.

Her life might well be over.

In Hungary, Anna discovers that nothing is quite as it seems. Not the people around her, from her aloof cousin Noémi to the fierce and handsome Romani Gábor. Not the society she’s known all her life, for discontent with the Luminate is sweeping the land. And not her lack of magic. Isolated from the only world she cares about, Anna still can’t seem to stop herself from breaking spells.

As rebellion spreads across the region, Anna’s unique ability becomes the catalyst everyone is seeking. In the company of nobles, revolutionaries, and Romanies, Anna must choose: deny her unique power and cling to the life she’s always wanted, or embrace her ability and change that world forever.

Welcome to Weep.




Why it's Wanted:

How gorgeous is this cover? I love fantasy, and this sounds like a great novel with historical elements as well. Plus, Rosalyn is a local author, so support is a given!

  2. Is it just me or do you miss the light blue cover? I love the white cover too, but the light blue one was awesome. I might hold off on reading this book until the trilogy is completed. (Which is a long time from now, LOL.) I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it!

    Have a fabulous week, Christin. =)
