‘Waiting on Wednesday’ is a meme created by Breaking the Spine where each week we discuss upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. I am looking forward to SO MANY BOOKS, so this weekly meme is a great way for me to share what books I need to get my hands on!

Three girls with three deadly secrets. Only one can wear the crown.

The king is dying, his heir has just been murdered, and rebellion brews in the east. But the kingdom of Kolonya and the outer Reaches has one last option before it descends into leaderless chaos.

Or rather, three unexpected options.

Zofi has spent her entire life trekking through the outer Reaches with her band of Travelers. She would do anything to protect the band, her family. But no one can ever find out how far she’s already gone.

Akeylah was raised in the Eastern Reach, surrounded by whispers of rebellion and abused by her father. Desperate to escape, she makes a decision that threatens the whole kingdom.

Ren grew up in Kolonya, serving as a lady’s maid and scheming her way out of the servants’ chambers. But one such plot could get her hung for treason if anyone ever discovers what she’s done.

When the king summons the girls, they arrive expecting arrest or even execution. Instead they learn the truth: they are his illegitimate daughters, and one must become his new heir. But someone in Kolonya knows their secrets, and that someone will stop at nothing to keep the sisters from their destiny… to rule.

I’ll be completely honest, the thing that drew me to this book was that amazing cover.

There seems to be a trend in YA Fantasy at the moment about 3 princesses competing for a crown and I think that Three Dark Crowns was the origin of this trend but please correct me if I’m wrong.

I actually still haven’t read Three Dark Crowns yet, but there’s something about this book that is pulling me to it even more than Blake’s series, it seems more grown up, toeing the line between YA and NA/Adult, so because I’m 22, this is definitely more appealing.

We’ve only got a week until this book comes out, and even though I haven’t pre-ordered it, I’m excited to get my hands on a copy!

Have you gotten to read this early? If so what are your thoughts on it? If not, are you guys interested in picking this book up? I would love to hear your thoughts on it. I AM SO EXCITED!!

Until next time…
