"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event which had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with "Can't-Wait Wednesday" hosted over at Wishful Endings.
In a Norse-flavored fantasy series that follows the lives of five sisters: the warrior, the magician, the lover, the zealot, the gossip--an old enemy threatens the fragile peace they have built.
Four years have passed since the five sisters--daughters of the ruling king--worked together to restore their father to health and to the throne, while fracturing the bonds between themselves almost irreparably. Only Bluebell is still at home, dutifully serving as heir to her father's kingdom. Rose has been cast aside by her former husband and hides in exile with her aunt, separated forever from her beloved daughter, Rowan. Ash wanders the distant wastes with her teacher, learning magic and hunting dragons, determined that the dread fate she has foreseen for herself and her loved ones never comes to pass. Ivy rules over a prosperous seaport, married to an aged husband she hates, yet finding delight in her two young sons and the handsome captain of the guard. And as for Willow, she hides the most dangerous secret of all--one that could destroy all that the sisters once sought to save!
Sisters of the Fire by Kim Wilkins is due to be released February 5th, 2019 from Del Rey.
Why am I waiting on this one? This is book two in the Blood and Gold series. I read book one and enjoyed it. I'd like to see what's going on with the sisters. They are all so different; that's part of the attraction. There are different story arcs that will most likely culminate coming together. I gave the first book 4 out of 5 stars. I expect and hope this one will be at least as good as the first one.
What book are you waiting on this week? Share it or a link in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our TBR lists. Thanks for coming by and Happy Reading!
Well, you've successfully reminded me I wanted to read book 1. Great choice this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you enjoy your pick about Jack the Ripper's victims as well. It sounds fascinating.
