My pick is Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas!
Goodreads summary:
An assassin’s loyalties are always in doubt.
But her heart never wavers.
After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.
Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice.
Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?
My thoughts:
What an awesome cover! It was just revealed yesterday, so I'm thrilled that it's in time for my WoW. :D What do you guys think of the cover? I love it; I think it represents the stories very well and really gives off a fantasy-ish vibe.
Basically, I just can't wait for this book. I need more of Chaol and Dorian! And I'm excited about reading more of Celaena's sparkling wit and sarcasm, of course. ;) She's an amazing heroine.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

I know right?! I'm so excited for this to come out! Thanks for the follow as well. :)
DeleteWell, to tell you the truth, I didn't like book 1 of this series, and I didn't understand what the fuss was all about with it either. I was thoroughly disappointed by it. People say I should've read the short stories beforehand, but I believe that's really not how it should go. A short story should be a companion, not holding all the info you'd need to understand the main novel, you know?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, there are lots of readers out there who loved the series. I hope you enjoy the sequel ;)
Thanks for stopping by!
Aw, I know what you mean - I hate it when I read a book that everyone else loves but I just can't get into it. I agree about the short stories, too. I haven't read them either. *shrug* Thanks!
