Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It is a chance to share those new releases were are super anxious to get our hands on and read.
I recently (finally!) started this series and it has been every bit as good as it promised to be so of course when I saw a story all about the queen, I couldn't resist choosing it for this week's book pick.
Release Date: January 27, 2014
Book Description:
In this stunning bridge book between Cress and Winter in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles, Queen Levana’s story is finally told.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?
Fans of the Lunar Chronicles know Queen Levana as a ruler who uses her “glamour” to gain power. But long before she crossed paths with Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress, Levana lived a very different story – a story that has never been told . . . until now.
Marissa Meyer spins yet another unforgettable tale about love and war, deceit and death. This extraordinary book includes full-color art and an excerpt from Winter, the next book in the Lunar Chronicles series.

Oh, wow, what a pretty cover! I read Cinder ages ago and didn't really like it. I dislike retellings in general so it's really not for me, but so many of my friends adore this series so I'm obviously the problem here.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you didn't like it Maja but I can see why it isn't for everyone.
DeleteCreepy cover!! But I love that series (even though only read book 1) so looking forward to this as well. :)
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteI loved Cinder and still need to continue with the rest of the series. Looking forward to this eventually though!
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
I need to as well. I read book one and the novella and that is it so far.
DeleteOooh, that cover! I've enjoyed this series so far and I'll have to look into Fairest :)

DeleteYES ALI!!!! I need this book in my life! I'm dying to get my hands on WINTER, and this novella will perfectly tide me over until WINTER is out. SO EXCITED:)

DeleteOoh - I love this cover, and can you believe I have all three of the other book because I love retellings, and still need to read them!! Gah ... I will get to them. Great pick Ali, I'm sure fairest is goint to be awesome as well :)
