"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
(Forgive the lack of images - Blogger isn't letting me add pictures at the moment.)
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Chast in Chaos (Chronicals of Elantra #6)
by Michelle Sagara West
Publication Date: August 1, 2010
From Goodreads:
Kaylin Neya is a Hawk, part of the elite force tasked with keeping the City of Elantra safe. Her past is dark, her magic uncontrolled and her allies unpredictable. And nothing has prepared her for what is coming, when the charlatans on Elani Street suddenly grow powerful, the Oracles are thrown into an uproar and the skies rain blood…
The powerful of Elantra believe that the mysterious markings on Kaylin’s skin hold the answer, and they are not averse to using her–how ever they have to-in order to discover what it is.
Something is coming, breaking through the barriers between the worlds. But is it a threat that Kaylin needs to defend her city against–or has she been chosen for another reason entirely?
From me:
I really love these books, they top my favorites list. Sagara-West has created a brilliant fantasy world with interesting race and political issues with Kaylin's magic being the foremost on many people's minds. She's already saved her world a few times, so I'm curious to see what she has to deal with next! For my review of the first book in the series, Cast in Shadow, see here.
This is the first I've heard of the Chronicles of Elantra series, but it certainly sounds exciting! I'll have to check out your review of Cast in Shadow. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this series before, but it sounds good. I will have to check out the first book. My WoW is here.
