"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
A sharp-tongued folklorist must pair up with
her academic rival to solve their mentor's murder in this lush and
enthralling sapphic fantasy romance from the New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic.
Lorelei
Kaskel, a folklorist with a quick temper and an even quicker wit, is on
an expedition with six eccentric nobles in search of a fabled spring.
The magical spring promises untold power, which the king wants to
harness to secure his reign of the embattled country of Brunnestaad.
Lorelei is determined to use this opportunity to prove herself and make
her wildest, most impossible dream come to become a naturalist, able to
travel freely to lands she’s only ever read about.
The expedition
gets off to a harrowing start when its leader—Lorelei’s beloved
mentor—is murdered in her quarters aboard their ship. The suspects are
her five remaining expedition mates, each with their own motive. The
only person Lorelei knows must be innocent is her longtime academic
rival, the insufferably gallant and maddeningly beautiful Sylvia von
Wolff. Now in charge of the expedition, Lorelei must find the spring
before the murderer strikes again—and a coup begins in earnest.
But
there are other dangers lurking in the forests that rearrange
themselves at night, rivers with slumbering dragons waiting beneath the
water, and shapeshifting beasts out for blood.
As Lorelei and
Sylvia grudgingly work together to uncover the truth—and resist their
growing feelings for one another—they discover that their professor had
secrets of her own. Secrets that make Lorelei question whether justice
is worth pursuing, or if this kingdom is worth saving at all.

I kept seeing everyone going crazy about getting this ARC. So of course I had to order the waterstones special edition, haha :D I think it looks gorgeous. And sounds so exciting. I do not usually read girl and girl romances, as I prefer boy and girl, but I will read this one. It sounds so very good and I am sure the romance will be amazing too :) So yes. I am now very excited about this book; I'm hoping to love it lots :)
What are you waiting for on this dark Wednesday?
