"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
Effy Sayre has always believed in fairy tales.
She’s had no choice. Since childhood, she’s been haunted by visions of
the Fairy King. She’s found solace only in the pages of Angharad -
author Emrys Myrddin’s beloved epic about a mortal girl who falls in
love with the Fairy King, and then destroys him.
Effy’s
tattered, dog-eared copy is all that’s keeping her afloat through her
stifling first term at Llyr’s prestigious architecture college. So when
Myrddin’s family announces a contest to design the late author’s house,
Effy fells certain this is her destiny.
But Hiraeth Manor is an
impossible task: a musty, decrepit estate on the brink of crumbling into
a hungry sea. And when Effy arrives, she finds she isn’t the only one
who’s made a temporary home there. Preston Héloury, a stodgy young
literature scholar, is studying Myrddin’s papers and is determined to
prove her favorite author is a fraud.
As the two rival students
investigate the reclusive author’s legacy, piecing together clues
through his letters, books, and diaries, they discover that the house’s
foundation isn’t the only thing that can’t be trusted. There are dark
forces, both mortal and magical, conspiring against them - and the truth
may bring them both to ruin.

I'm both excited and nervous about this one :) Excited, because it looks stunning and sounds pretty awesome too. But nervous, as I did not like the first book by this author that I read this year. But I'm still going to give this new one a try :) As I do think and hope that I will end up loving it. Fingers crossed :D
What are you waiting for on this crumbling Wednesday?
