Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme to highlight upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating, hosted by Breaking the Spine
Across a Star-Swept Sea by Diana Peterfreund
Release Date: October 15, 2013
Series: For Darkness Shows the Stars #2
Short, Sweet and Spoiler-Free Blurb:
Centuries after wars nearly destroyed civilization, the two islands of New Pacifica stand alone, a terraformed paradise where even the Reduction—the devastating brain disorder that sparked the wars—is a distant memory. Yet on the isle of Galatea, an uprising against the ruling aristocrats has turned deadly….
In this thrilling adventure inspired by The Scarlet Pimpernel, Diana Peterfreund creates an exquisitely rendered world where nothing is as it seems and two teens with very different pasts fight for a future only they dare to imagine.
Why I’m waiting:
I’m so excited for this! I love retellings and I loved the first book in this series, For Darkness Shows the Stars. And I love this cover! The dress turning into water feels kind of epic.
What books are you waiting for? Leave a link and I’ll come look!
My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.
I just heard today that For Darkness Shows the Stars is a retelling of Jane Austin’s Persuasion, so I’m adding it to my to-read list. I hope you get the second book soon :)
I really like your blog, I’m a new follower.
