"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
From the New York Times bestselling
author of SIX CRIMSON CRANES comes a tale of two sisters—one as
beautiful as the other is monstrous— who must fight to save each other
when a betrothal contest gone wrong unleashes an evil that could sever
their bond forever.
One sister must fall for the other to rise.
Channi
was not born a monster. But when her own father offered her in
sacrifice to the tiger witch, she was forever changed. Cursed with a
serpent's face, Channi is the exact opposite of her beautiful sister
Vanna—the only person in the village who looks at Channi and doesn’t see
a monster. The only person she trusts.
Now seventeen, Vanna is
to be auctioned off in a vulgar betrothal contest that will enrich the
coffers of the village leaders. Only Channi, who’s had to rely on her
strength and cunning all these years, can defend her sister against the
cruelest of the suitors. But in doing so, she becomes the target of his
wrath—launching a series of vicious gladiatorial fights, a quest over
land and sea, romance between sworn enemies, and a choice that will
strain Channi's heart to its breaking point.
Weaving together
elements of The Selection and Ember in the Ashes with classic tales like
Beauty and the Beast and Helen of Troy, Elizabeth Lim is at the
absolute top of her game in this thrilling yet heart-wrenching fantasy
that explores the dark side of beauty and the deepest bonds of
sisterhood.

I own two books by this author; Six Crimson Cranes and the sequel. But I have yet to read them. Oops. And even so, I pre-ordered the special waterstones edition of this book. Oops :) I just think this looks so gorgeous. Sigh. And sounds amazing too. I think I will love the books by this author. Fingers crossed. <3
What are you waiting for on this radiant Wednesday?
