This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...
(Wickery #1)
Publication
Date: January 19, 2021
Hardcover, 448 pages, HarperTeen
Genres:
YA, Fantasy
The first book in an epic,
heart-pounding fantasy duology about two royal heirs betrothed to be married,
but whose loyalties are torn, and a ruthless enemy who threatens their world,
perfect for fans of Sabaa Tahir, Hafsah Faizal, and Renée Ahdieh.
Adraa is the royal heir of Belwar,
a talented witch on the cusp of taking her royal ceremony test, and a girl who
just wants to prove her worth to her people.
Jatin is the royal heir to Naupure,
a competitive wizard who's mastered all nine colors of magic, and a boy anxious
to return home for the first time since he was a child.
Together, their arranged marriage
will unite two of Wickery's most powerful kingdoms. But after years of rivalry
from afar, Adraa and Jatin only agree on one thing: their reunion will be
anything but sweet.
Only, destiny has other plans and
with the criminal underbelly of Belwar suddenly making a move for control,
their paths cross...and neither realizes who the other is, adopting separate
secret identities instead.
Between dodging deathly spells and
keeping their true selves hidden, the pair must learn to put their trust in the
other if either is to uncover the real threat. Now Wickery's fate is in the
hands of rivals..? Fiancées..? Partners..? Whatever they are, it's complicated
and bound for greatness or destruction.
My Thoughts
Such a pretty cover. I’m a little wary of the new trend of
illustrated book covers, but this one is lovely. I have a feeling Cast in
Firelight will be in a lot of book subscription boxes in November. (Update: New January 2021 release date due to COVID-related printing issues, so it may not be in any boxes this year.) I’m ready
for it, though. So ready. I just hope they don’t change the color scheme of the
art. I have a NetGalley review copy of this one, so at least I don't have to wait to read it. :)
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
