"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted
over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that
we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...
Firefight
(Reckoners #2)
Publication Date: January 8, 2015
Hardcover,
400 pages, Balzer + Bray
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
They told David it was
impossible--that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet,
Steelheart--invincible, immortal, unconquerable--is dead. And he died by
David's hand.
Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And there's no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs.
Babylon Restored, the old borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic, Regalia, David is sure Babylon Restored will lead him to what he needs to find. And while entering another city oppressed by a High Epic despot is a gamble, David's willing to risk it. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic--Firefight. And he's willing to go on a quest darker, and more dangerous even, than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.

My Thoughts
I’m so excited about this book! Superheroes are my weakness
and I just am so upset that I have to wait even longer to get this in my hands!
I’m not too excited about the minor cover changes (it’s really just the fonts),
but it could be worse. They could’ve completely redone Steelheart.
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
