"Can’t-Wait Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted
over at Wishful Endings,
that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...
(The
Daevabad Trilogy #3)
Publication
Date: June 30, 2020
Hardcover, 784 pages, Harper Voyager
Genres:
Adult, Fantasy
The final chapter in the
bestselling, critically acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an
idealistic djinn prince join forces to save a magical kingdom from a
devastating civil war.
Daevabad has fallen.
After a brutal conquest stripped
the city of its magic, Nahid leader Banu Manizheh and her resurrected
commander, Dara, must try to repair their fraying alliance and stabilize a
fractious, warring people.
But the bloodletting and loss of
his beloved Nahri have unleashed the worst demons of Dara’s dark past. To
vanquish them, he must face some ugly truths about his history and put himself
at the mercy of those he once considered enemies.
Having narrowly escaped their
murderous families and Daevabad’s deadly politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in
Cairo, face difficult choices of their own. While Nahri finds peace in the old
rhythms and familiar comforts of her human home, she is haunted by the
knowledge that the loved ones she left behind and the people who considered her
a savior are at the mercy of a new tyrant. Ali, too, cannot help but look back,
and is determined to return to rescue his city and the family that remains.
Seeking support in his mother’s homeland, he discovers that his connection to
the marid goes far deeper than expected and threatens not only his relationship
with Nahri, but his very faith.
As peace grows more elusive and old
players return, Nahri, Ali, and Dara come to understand that in order to remake
the world, they may need to fight those they once loved . . . and take a stand
for those they once hurt.
My Thoughts
I just recently finished The City of Brass, and I’m
barely holding off the urge to read book two in this trilogy, The Kingdom of
Copper. The only reason I’m waiting is because I want to purchase all three
books from Fairyloot. They’re selling special editions with the UK covers. And,
while normally, I’m the weirdo who likes the US covers better, in this case, the
UK versions are the prettiest. Only a couple more months to go until I can binge
the last two books and have the pretty copies in my hands.
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
