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'm a huge Maas fan and in particular of the Throne of Glass series so I'm excited to see where the next book will go. There have been a lot of changes, a lot of ups and downs in the last couple of books and honestly, I feel like at this point, this series could be going anywhere. It will be interesting to see where it does go.
I absolutely love the cover though, it is gorgeous! Let's just hope Maas wows us again in this one and doesn't break our hearts.
Book Description:
The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those don't.
As the kingdoms of Erilea fracture around her, enemies must become allies if Aelin is to keep those she loves from falling to the dark forces poised to claim her world. With war looming on all horizons, the only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear.
Aelin's journey from assassin to queen has entranced millions across the globe, and this fifth installment will leave fans breathless. Will Aelin succeed in keeping her world from splintering, or will it all come crashing down?

I'm not a fan of this series, sadly. I lost interest with Heir of Fire, but I hope this goes well for you, Ali. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI know and I don't blame you, the constant switching of love interests is hard and my least favorite part of it.
DeleteI am only up to Heir of Fire - which I hope to listen to soon - but super excited to see another novel in the series!!
ReplyDeleteThey have gotten longer as they go it seems. I have yet to finish Queen of Shadows. ;)
DeleteBreak my heart! Break it! The cover is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI do love the cover!
DeleteI'm sure this will be a popular pick this week, Ali. :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't doubt it. ;)
DeleteI had to give up on this series, which was one of my favorites with the first 3 books + the novellas. After the reviews of QoS poured in, I saw which way the wind was blowing and abandoned ship. I'm not into all the "let's make this man a villain so readers will hate him and ship the new romance". SJM has gotten out of hand with this series for me. It's not even about politics anymore, it's all about the romance.
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't love the constant switching it has been known for and I have yet to read QoS's because of it but I know I will. My daughter read it and still loved it so I'm hoping there is hope for the series yet.
DeleteWow that's a great Kindlemom I know how you feel about being excited about an upcoming release!
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteI'm so behind on this series. Didn't even finish reading the first book. Hopefully I'll go back to it soon cause it does seem like an interesting story. Thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoy this one :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
Shane @ Itching for Books
Thanks so much and Happy Wednesday to you as well!
DeleteGreat pick! I can see why it's your wow!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tyler! :D
DeleteSo I still need to start this series -- I know, it's a crime that I haven't yet! I'm so happy that you love it though, it motivates me even more to read it!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great series even despite some of its faults. ;)
DeleteYESSSS. but I am behind and need to get my butt in gear and read the last one STAT!
ReplyDeleteI do too Kim, I do too.
DeleteI lost track of this series when I gave up halfway through the second book so the blurb is kind of lost on me. I should maybe give it another chance?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on why you quit I guess. I love it but it has been pretty emotional and very long so...I don't know. If you did like it then I would say yes definitely!
DeleteThis book is new to me! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading! <a href="http://paulettespapers.com/?p=10744”>Dani @ Paulette’s Papers</a>
Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI really need to continue this series. Oh the covers are so different!
ReplyDeleteThey did remake them but I like them better I think than the first book had.
DeleteSadly I'm with Nick, not all that interested in finishing this series, or reading any of Maas's books in the future. :/ I really like this particular cover though. I hope this book when you get a chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week. :)
Check out my WoW post!
Thanks so much, I'm really hoping it will be great too.
DeleteI hope this lives up to your expectations! I enjoyed Throne of Glass but haven't really kept up with SJM since.
ReplyDeleteI’m waiting for “The Sun is Also a Star” by Nicola Yoon :)
Enjoy your week!
Oh that one looks good to, I hope you like it!
DeleteHeck yeah! I'm on the Maas train for sure. Choo! Choo!
ReplyDeleteI've never read anything by this author before. Fantasy isn't really my thing. But I do hope you enjoy reading this, Ali.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My WoW earlier.
Thanks so much Sandra!
DeleteI haven't read anything by Maas. I'm not that into fantasy, but there are some that do surprise me here and there!
ReplyDelete-Lauren
I use to feel that way too Lauren so I totally understand. ;)
DeleteI only read the prequel novellas and Throne of Glass, but I do like the characters. I know she's notorious with playing with the romance, but I do like that we have no idea where the story will go. It keeps us readers on our toes!
ReplyDeleteYes, I couldn't agree more!
Deletearghhh I need to try this author
ReplyDeleteShe is great, I hope you like her if you try her.
DeleteThis sort of fantasy isn't a go to for me, but I know lots and lots of people love this series. Hope this one is a good one for you!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! I still need to read the last one. Maybe that'll be my next read.
ReplyDeleteOoo we could read it together! I still have yet to read it.
DeleteI have some catching up to do with this series. I think I'll try to do that on audio. I'm still excited for this though. :)
ReplyDeleteIf your a fan, it's hard not to be I think. ;)
DeleteIs it wrong that I'm stupid excited for this one even though I haven't read the second one yet :P Anyway, great choice!
ReplyDeleteNot wrong at all. ;)
DeleteI need to get into this series, real soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do, it really is great.
DeleteI still need to read the last book. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI do too so don't feel bad, it's a monster of a book.
DeleteGreat pick! I agree the book series could be going anywhere now. I still need to read the 4th one, but I'm nervous because of spoilers I heard. I need to just read it already and I hope this one will be good too. The cover is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI think that is why I haven't read it yet either Erin. ;)
DeleteThat is a very catching cover. I've still got book one on my list. *flails*
ReplyDeleteAt least you have them, that's a start. ;P
