'Waiting on' Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights releases that we are highly anticipating.This week's pick is Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass #1) by Sarah J. Maas.
Expected Publication: 7th August 2012
In the dark, filthy salt mines of Endovier, an eighteen-year-old girl is serving a life sentence. She is a trained assassin, the best of her kind, but she made a fatal mistake: she got caught.
Young Captain Westfall offers her a deal: her freedom in return for one huge sacrifice. Celaena must represent the prince in a to-the-death tournament—fighting the most gifted thieves and assassins in the land. Live or die, Celaena will be free. Win or lose, she is about to discover her true destiny. But will her assassin’s heart be melted?"

I have a feeling i'll either really like or really hate this one. I've heard comparisons to Grave Mercy but I hope it sustains my interest for a longer time...
What is your pick for this week?
I'm looking forward to this one too. There's been a lot of hype around it though so I'm trying not to keep my expectations too high!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW! :)
Can't wait for this one. :) I love the assassin thing, kind of reminds me of Graceling (which I adored). Great pick!

Really looking forward to Throne of Glass - just a week to go :)
ReplyDeleteThis was my WOW a few weeks ago and I absolutely can't wait for it to come out. I'm actually waiting to see if I'm going to be approved for an E-ARC from NetGalley and if I am, I'm going to be jumping up and down around the house for days... I really can't wait! Awesome pick!

Great pick! I can't wait to read this one either. I love the cover & the concept. I've heard nothing but great things about it so far. I'm so excited. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Throne of Glass is awesome. You really should read it ASAP. Also your cover is different than the cover I have for it. Interesting.
