Waiting On Wednesday: The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that I'm eagerly anticipating.

The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco
The Bone Witch #1
Expected publication: March 1st 2017 by Sourcebooks Fire

When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy means that she’s a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community. But Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to another land for training.

In her new home, Tea puts all her energy into becoming an asha — one who can wield elemental magic. But dark forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will have to overcome her obstacles…and make a powerful choice.

Everything about The Bone Witch sounds really amazing. And that cover is so gorgeous! ♥ 

March 2017 is so far away so the wait for this book might kill me, though.

Review: Wit in All Languages by Madeleine E. Robins

Title: Wit in All Languages
Author: Madeleine E. Robins
Series: Whitehall  ~ Season One, Episode IV
Publication: June 8th 2016 by Serial Box Publishing
Genre: Historical Fiction
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Google Play | iBooks | Kobo
Rating: 4/5

Review copy received in exchange for an honest review.

Fortune favors the bold in the fourth installment of Whitehall, an episodic royal tale full of true history and sensual intrigue, new from Serial Box Publishing.

Stars rise and fall and tides turn when a royal ball causes quite the stir in more ways than one. Charles makes a dramatic move in his war of wills with Catherine – but the battle’s true victor remains to be seen.

This episode is brought to you by Madeline Robbins, who knows how to make an entrance and a stand.

"Wit in All Languages" continues the 13-part serial, Whitehall, presented by Serial Box. Intrigue, romance, and scandal fill the palace halls in this historical tale, collaboratively written by Liz Duffy Adams, Delia Sherman, Barbara Samuel, Madeleine Robins, Sarah Smith, and Mary Robinette Kowal.

Wit in All Languages is my favorite part so far. The others were also great, obviously, but for some reason I enjoyed this one just a little more.

At the start of this story the king and queen are still at odds with each other because Catherine still doesn't give in to letting the king's mistress, Barbara, be a part of her inner circle. Because of that Charles sends away a big part of the queen's Portuguese retinue.

My favorite part in this part though was the masquerade ball. I'm a sucker for masquerades. And I loved how although Barbara dressed as the moon, to go with king Charles as the sun, that queen Catherine still came out shining after all. It was one hell of an entrance.

Wit in All Languages was such a quick read, mostly because I enjoyed it so much so you gotta savor as much of it as you can. Excellent writing combined with the intrigue of this story made it really my favorite so far.

Writing gives Madeleine Robins the chance to focus on many of her ruling passions: cities, history, swordplay, the history of disease, and the future of mankind–with a side order of historical costuming and infrastructure (urban plumbing is far more interesting than you’d think).

Born in New York City, the Author has been, in no particular order, a nanny, a teacher, an actor and stage-combatant, an administrator, a comic book editor, a baker, typist-clerk for Thos. Cook’s Houses of Parliament office, a repairer-of-hurt-books, an editorial consultant, and a writer. She holds a degree in Theatre Studies from Connecticut College, and attended the Clarion Science Fiction Workshop in 1981. She is a founding member of the BookViewCafe, where her first five books — all Regency romances — are available for sale.

A lifelong and passionate fan of cities and all things urban, Madeleine lives in San Francisco with her family, dog, and one hegemonic lemon tree.

Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas
Throne of Glass #4
Published September 1st 2015 by Bloomsbury UK

Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she's at last returned to the empire—for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past . . .

She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die just to see her again. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen's triumphant return.

Celaena’s epic journey has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions across the globe. This fourth volume will hold readers rapt as Celaena’s story builds to a passionate, agonizing crescendo that might just shatter her world.

Well, this series has finally sucked me in! I didn't like book #1, book #2 that I finished not long ago wasn't bad but I also wouldn't say it was fantastic. Now I am in the middle of reading book #3 and wow... I am loving it so, so much. It's crazy! So yeah want to get my hands on Queen of Shadows as soon as possible!
