Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and talk about the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. It's based on Waiting On Wednesday hosted at Breaking the Spine.
Expected publication: December 4th 2018 by Margaret K. McElderry Books
Dark secrets and forbidden love threaten the very survival of the Shadowhunters in Cassandra Clare’s Queen of Air and Darkness, the final novel in the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling The Dark Artifices trilogy.
What if damnation is the price of true love?
Innocent blood has been spilled on the steps of the Council Hall, the sacred stronghold of the Shadowhunters. In the wake of the tragic death of Livia Blackthorn, the Clave teeters on the brink of civil war. One fragment of the Blackthorn family flees to Los Angeles, seeking to discover the source of the blight that is destroying the race of warlocks.
Meanwhile, Julian and Emma take desperate measures to put their forbidden love aside and undertake a perilous mission to Faerie to retrieve the Black Volume of the Dead. What they find in the Courts is a secret that may tear the Shadow World asunder and open a dark path into a future they could never have imagined. Caught in a race against time, Emma and Julian must save the world of Shadowhunters before the deadly power of the parabatai curse destroys them and everyone they love.
I'm absolutely desperate for this final book. The Dark Artifices is my second favorite series by Cassandra Clare (The Infernal Devices is my #1 fave) so I'm having high expectations for it. And I'm sure she'll rip all our hearts out like she did with the previous book. Also, the cover is so gorgeous! ♥
I haven't read a Cassandra Clare book since City of Bones first came out but I think I might need to change that. Her new books sound and look amazing!
ReplyDelete--Check out my WoW post
I hope you do! I thought the first two Dark Artifices books were especially amazing. And I like them even more than The Mortal Instruments.
DeleteI love your excitement! I hope this lives up to it!!
ReplyDeleteAlmost nothing rivals my excitement of Cassie's books! :D
DeleteOMG I can't wait for this one. December is too far away. After how Lord of Shadows ended....I need to know more now!
ReplyDeleteThe wait is going to be long and awful BUT December is my birthday month so chances are good that I'll be reading this around my birthday. :D
DeleteNot gonna lie, I'm behind The Shadowhunters Chronicles, but I still remember how much I loved Clockwork Angel, so I know I'll have to finish The Infernal Devices at some point!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy this instalment A LOT :D
Here's my WoW!
The Infernal Devices is still one of the best trilogies ever to excist. Just finish it! :D
DeleteI really need to catch up with the series. I've only read through City of Glass and my goal for this year is to finish the Mortal Instruments and catch up with the Dark Artifacts before Queen of Air and Darkness is released. Thanks for sharing :)

I hope you reach your goal, that would be so amazing!
DeleteI sure hope you get your hands on this one soon. I can tell how excited you are for it. I've not read anything by this author but do own a few. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteWell, it doesn't release until December so it won't be soon but I can be patient for Cassie's brilliant books. :D
DeleteOh, my, that's a long wait!! I hope you love this one!
ReplyDeleteAt first it wasn't even supposed to release in 2018 so I'm not complaining :P
DeleteI have only read one of Cassandra Clare's novels and it was a lot of fun. I need to pick up another one. This sounds like it will be good. I can see why you are excited about its upcoming release! Thanks doe sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe world of Shadowhunters is one of my top favorites ever so I'll always be excited for any book connected to it. :D
DeleteI am waiting for this book becuase I want to see how Clare finishes the series but I was disappointed by LoS, I mean I did have the most of the ending spoiled for me (thanks booklr) so that might have has something to do with it, but it was not as good as The Infernal Devices.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW: https://booksofteacups.wordpress.com/2018/01/24/waiting-on-wednesday-smoke-in-the-sun-by-renee-ahdieh/
I don't think anything could be as good as The Infernal Devices. But TID is a close second I think. I'm sorry you got spoiled for LoS, that sucks!
DeleteIt does have a beautiful cover. I am behind on these books too. One day I'll catch up.
ReplyDeleteThat's my motto with books: One day I'll catch up. LOL xD
DeleteOooh! I love the cover and I really need to read up on Cassandra Clare's books soon!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!

ReplyDeleteI know right! It makes me wish I had gotten the other books in hardcover for that reason alone.
DeleteI literally cannot wait for this book to come out! December cannot come fast enough!
ReplyDeleteSAME!!! :D
DeleteYou have just made me realize that I am going to have a lot of reading to do to get caught up in this series! I have the first 2 on my shelf and they stare me down every day! lol I hope that you enjoy this next one. :)
ReplyDeleteWow what a cover on this one!

Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
That is the coolest cover! I've not read CC's work, but goodness her covers are always lovely!
ReplyDeleteI have only read one of Cassandra Clare's books -- "City of Bones", the first novel of the Mortal Instruments series, and was not entirely thrilled by it. I might give it a second chance, though....
ReplyDeleteThe book you're featuring here does sound VERY exciting, so I'm adding it to my TBR. Plus, I love that cover just as much as you do!! It is indeed a GORGEOUS cover!!
Thanks for sharing! Also, thanks for commenting on my own CWW post!! HUGS!!! I hope you've been feeling better!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
