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.
This week Ms. Bardugo gets my pick with her new series, The Dregs. I just love her writing so I can't resist this one.
Book Description:
Game of Thrones meets Ocean's Eleven in this brand-new book in the world of the Grisha by New York Times-bestselling author Leigh Bardugo.
Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone...
A convict with a thirst for revenge.
A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager.
A runaway with a privileged past.
A spy known as the Wraith.
A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.
Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don't kill each other first.

I unfortunately never made it past book one in her original trilogy, but that was mostly because of the characters. I have a feeling this one might be more up my alley. I'll certainly give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it wasn't for everyone. :)
DeleteI never did read The Grisha Trilogy, but still will give it a go at some point. I have this one on my TBR. I hope that we both like it. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping so too!
DeleteI love the sound of this. This is the first time I actually sat and read the synopsis. I must have it!
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteYES ALI!!! YES YES YES YES YES! I couldn't be more excited for this one:) And that cover. *dies of prettiness*
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty eye catching isn't it? So glad you want to read this one as well Jenny!
DeleteOOh great premise and I've heard of a murder of crows but not a six of crows. Sounds like my kind of read. Thanks Ali!
ReplyDeleteI hope you read and like it Debbie! And I haven't heard of it either so I'm super curious!
DeleteI'm really excited for this one after reading the synopsis!! I haven't read the Grisha trilogy though so not sure if that'll affect reading this one? I hope you love it :D
ReplyDeleteI have only read the first book but I really liked it so I'm hoping this is just as good.
DeleteThis doesn't sound like something I would normally read, but I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by My WoW.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra!
DeleteI've seen this one around a lot! I am going to have to give it a try because everyone is waiting on it!!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW

ReplyDeleteMy WOW http://readingawaythedays.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/waiting-on-wednesday-37.html
Maybe this will be a good place to start?
DeleteMy friend was telling me about this last week and I had no idea what it was. No wonder she was disappointed she didn't get a copy at BEA
ReplyDeleteHopefully an ARC will show up somewhere sometime soon!
DeleteYuuup, I'm DEFINITELY excited for this one. My hands are trembling with anticipation already! XD

DeleteI just started the Grisha trilogy in the last month or so, but I really enjoyed Shadow and Bone, so I feel like I'll like this one as well.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Waiting on Wednesday pick!
I need to finish it but I remember loving the first book as well.
DeleteYES! While I might not have been the hugest fan of the Grisha trilogy, I am really looking forward to this one as it sounds like it might be more interesting to me personally. Thanks for sharing Ali!
ReplyDeleteYay glad you are interested in it as well.
DeleteSo many are excited for this one. I never read any of the author's other books, so I can't really say. I might have to try this one out though.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do, or at least try something of her's, I think you would like her.
DeleteI still have to read the last book in the Grisha series, but I'm really curious about what she does with this new series. I'll definitely will be checking it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm super curious too and can't wait to read some early reviews for those that were able to grab it at BEA.

DeleteGame of Thrones meets Ocean's Eleven? Wow, talk about a powerhouse! The cover art on this book is gorgeous too, I just personally love anything that has feathers and birds on the front cover :P
ReplyDeleteI know right? Let's hope it lives up to it!
DeleteNice choice!
