"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 Princess Will Save You #1)
Publication
Date: July 7, 2020
Hardcover, 368 pages, Tor Teen
Genres:
YA, Fantasy
A PRINCESS
A STABLE BOY
A QUEST
When her father dies, Princess
Amarande is given an ultimatum: Marry the leader of one of the four neighboring
kingdoms, or lose her crown—and possibly her life. And to force her hand, her
beloved, the stable boy Luca, is kidnapped.
But Amarande was raised to be a
warrior, not a sacrifice.
And nothing will stop her from
saving her true love and rescuing her kingdom.
The acclaimed author of Sea Witch
turns the classic damsel-in-distress tale on its head with this story of
adventure, identity, and love.
My Thoughts
A gender-flipped The Princess Bride? Heck yes. The
Princess Bride is my favorite movie of all time, so I have to read this
book. Now, I’m not expecting much. I’ve seen some low ratings, and it doesn’t
seem like this will be an amazing story with epic world-building. It seems more
like a fun romp with cute characters. Kind of like Lindsey Duga’s Kiss of
the Royal, which I very much enjoyed. Hopefully it’ll be a good, quick read
between thick SFF books.
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
Yes please! This sounds so good!

Yep yep! 😁
DeleteOh nice! Just saw this at my last blog visit! Lol! Edelweiss had this as DOWNLOAD NOW when I last checked. I refrained from downloading myself because one: I really want to read Sarah's other book on my TBR pile before starting a new one (silly reason, but I'm weird!) and two, I'm really enjoying my TBR readathon I've been doing lately! Lol.
ReplyDeleteHope you love it too once you get to read it!

Yeah, I'm staying far away from Netgalley and Edelweiss. They ruin my TBRs. Lol
