Waiting on Wednesday #3: Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

WWW is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine where we talk about books we are most anxiously anticipating.

Three Dark Crowns
Kendare Blake
Expected Publication: September 20, 2016

Every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.

But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose…it’s life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins. The last queen standing gets the crown.

If only it was that simple. Katharine is unable to tolerate the weakest poison, and Arsinoe, no matter how hard she tries, can’t make even a weed grow. The two queens have been shamefully faking their powers, taking care to keep each other, the island, and their powerful sister Mirabella none the wiser. But with alliances being formed, betrayals taking shape, and ruthless revenge haunting the queens’ every move, one thing is certain: the last queen standing might not be the strongest…but she may be the darkest.

A new fantasy series about princesses, I am in! Fantasy has been my jam right now and this book is getting me excited. I haven't read any other of Kendare Blake's books but this one looks awesome. 

Waiting on Wednesday #2: Frost Like Night by Sara Raasch

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine, where we talk about the books we are most anxiously anticipating.

Frost Like Night (Snow Like Ashes #3)

Sara Raasch

Expected Publication: September 20, 2016

Angra is alive, his Decay is spreading—and no one is safe.

Meira will do anything to save her world. With Angra trying to break through her mental defenses, she desperately needs to learn to control her own magic—so when the leader of a mysterious Order from Paisly offers to teach her, she jumps at the chance. But the true solution to stopping the Decay lies in a labyrinth deep beneath the Season Kingdoms. To defeat Angra, Meira will have to enter the labyrinth, destroy the very magic she’s learning to control—and make the biggest sacrifice of all.

Mather will do anything to save his queen. He needs to rally the Children of the Thaw, find Meira—and finally tell her how he really feels. But with a plan of attack that leaves no kingdom unscathed and a major betrayal within their ranks, winning the war—and protecting Meira—slips farther and farther out of reach.

Ceridwen will do anything to save her people. Angra had her brother killed, stole her kingdom, and made her a prisoner. But when she’s freed by an unexpected ally who reveals a shocking truth behind Summer’s slave trade, Ceridwen must take action to save her true love and her kingdom, even if it costs her what little she has left.

As Angra unleashes the Decay on the world, Meira, Mather, and Ceridwen must bring the kingdoms of Primoria together…or lose everything.

I am super excited to read this finale! I have loved this whole series and I just feel like this ending is going to rip my heart in two. Tears may be shed but I still can't wait to read this book. I love the end of a series, and I really hope this one will be great. 

Waiting on Wednesday #1 - The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine. This meme is for books that haven't come out yet but we're still excited for.

This week I'm waiting for:
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #1 (The Sword of Summer) by Rick Riordan

Release Date: October.6/2015

Goodreads Summary:
Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. One day, he’s tracked down by a man he’s never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. The man tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god. The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . . 

Waiting Because:
I really enjoyed reading the Percy Jackson series and I am excited to jump on Riordan's new series. I already pre-ordered this one for Kindle so I'll be on my to read list as soon as it comes out. It sounds very similar to Riordan's other story lines but Norse God's sound awesome. Please give me some Thor to dream about ;)
