"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
The Godfather meets The Magicians in the sweeping adult debut from #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu. Perfect for fans of V.E. Schwab, Red City
is a dark and deadly contemporary fantasy of magical warfare,
star-crossed ambition, and the pursuit of perfection at any cost, set in
a glittering alternate Los Angeles.
Alchemy is the hidden art of
transformation. An exclusive power wielded by crime syndicates that
market it to the world’s elites in the form of sand, a drug that
enhances those who take it into a more perfect version of themselves:
more beautiful, more charismatic, simply more.
Among the gleaming
skyscrapers and rolling foothills of Angel City, alchemy is controlled
by two rival syndicates. For years, Grand Central and Lumines have been
balanced on a razor’s edge between polite negotiation and outright
violence. But when two childhood friends step into that delicate
equation, the city―and the paths of their lives―will be irrevocably
transformed.
The daughter of a poor single mother, Sam would do
anything to claw her way into the ranks of Grand Central in search of a
better life. Plucked away from his family as a boy to become a Lumines
apprentice, Ari is one of the syndicates' brightest rising stars. Once,
they might have loved each other. But as the two alchemists face off
across opposite sides of an ever-escalating conflict, ambition becomes
power, loyalty becomes lies, and no transformation may be perfect enough
for them both to survive the coming war.
Format: 420 pages, Hardcover

Oops. Another book that I had forgotten to share about. I do already own it, though :D As I have loved Marie Lu since Legend came out. <3 This book sounds all kinds of complicated. Ack. Yet I'm going to read it one day, and I do hope and think that I'm going to love it :D The cover is different and I love it :)
What are you waiting for on this powerful Wednesday?
