Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that is all about sharing and putting a spotlight on upcoming unreleased books that readers cannot wait to get their hands on. My TBR pile is overrun with books that haven’t been released yet, but my choice for this week that I’m specifically looking forward to is…
The Wicked King by Holly Black
I don’t think I’ve ever been this impatient for a sequel! The ending of The Cruel Prince was brutal and my feelings cannot handle how much I have to wait to see what else happens in this story. I have a feeling it will be perfectly dark, gripping and just as emotionally shattering as the first book in the series.
Synopsis:
“After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her younger brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished.
When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world. ”
Every night I go to bed knowing that I’m just one day closer to this epic sequel… I can’t wait until it’s finally in my hands.
