"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
A TALE FOR EVERYONE WHO’S EVER FALLEN FOR THE VILLAIN…
When
her whole life collapsed, Rae still had books. Dying, she seizes a
second chance at living: a magical bargain that lets her enter the world
of her favourite fantasy series.
She wakes in a castle on the
edge of a hellish chasm, in a kingdom on the brink of war. Home to
dangerous monsters, scheming courtiers and her favourite fictional
character: the Once and Forever Emperor. He’s impossibly alluring, as
only fiction can be. And in this fantasy world, she discovers she's not
the heroine, but the villainess in the Emperor's tale.
So be it.
The wicked are better dressed, with better one-liners, even if they're
doomed to bad ends. She assembles the wildly disparate villains of the
story under her evil leadership, plotting to change their fate. But as
the body count rises and the Emperor's fury increases, it seems Rae and
her allies may not survive to see the final page.
This adult epic
fantasy debut from Sarah Rees Brennan puts the reader in the villain's
shoes, for an adventure that is both 'brilliant' (Holly Black) and
'supremely satisfying' (Leigh Bardugo). Expect a rogue's gallery of
villains including an axe wielding maid, a shining knight with dark
moods, a homicidal bodyguard, and a playboy spymaster with a golden
heart and a filthy reputation.
Format: 435 pages, Paperback
Expected Publication: August 27, 2024 by Orbit
Pre-Order: Blackwells and Amazon US and Amazon UK
This book is already out, but I just got it a few weeks ago as a Fairyloot book :) And it is looking gorgeous. Eee. I think this book sounds different from what I usually read. And yet it sounds all kinds of awesome too. So I'm willing to give it a try. I'm hoping to read it someday soonish :) It looks great. I hope to love it.
What are you waiting for on this evil Wednesday?
