Waiting on Wednesday
A weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that people are eagerly anticipating.
My choice for Waiting on Wednesday this week is:
Fairest
Fairest
by Marissa Meyer
Publication: January 27th 2015 by Macmillan
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?
Fans of the Lunar Chronicles know Queen Levana as a ruler who uses her “glamour” to gain power. But long before she crossed paths with Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress, Levana lived a very different story – a story that has never been told . . . until now.
Marissa Meyer spins yet another unforgettable tale about love and war, deceit and death. This extraordinary book includes full-color art and an excerpt from Winter, the next book in the Lunar Chronicles series.

The Orphan Queen
by Jodi Meadows
Publication: March 2015 by Katherine Tegen Books
Wilhelmina has a hundred identities.
She is a princess. When the Indigo Kingdom conquered her homeland, Wilhelmina and other orphaned children of nobility were taken to Skyvale, the Indigo Kingdom’s capital. Ten years later, they are the Ospreys, experts at stealth and theft. With them, Wilhelmina means to take back her throne.
She is a spy. Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate Skyvale Palace to study their foes. They assume the identities of nobles from a wraith-fallen kingdom, but enemies fill the palace, and Melanie’s behavior grows suspicious. With Osprey missions becoming increasingly dangerous and their leader more unstable, Wil can’t trust anyone.
She is a threat. Wraith is the toxic by-product of magic, and for a century using magic has been forbidden. Still the wraith pours across the continent, reshaping the land and animals into fresh horrors. Soon it will reach the Indigo Kingdom. Wilhelmina’s magic might be the key to stopping the wraith, but if the vigilante Black Knife discovers Wil’s magic, she will vanish like all the others
Jodi Meadows introduces a vivid new fantasy full of intrigue, romance, dangerous magic, and one girl’s battle to reclaim her place in the world.

Oh two very good and interesting books I see. The cover for The Orphan Queen is beautiful. Fairest sounds interesting. New follower via bloglovin.

I haven't read Cinder yet, I bought it back last month but haven't gotten around to it. As for The Orphan Queen, I've read her Incarnate, haven't finished the series, but this one sounds amazing! :)

I've been hearing really fantastic things about Marissa Meyer's books so I'm definitely planning on picking up Cinder sometime soon. And The Orphan Queen definitely sounds right up my alley! If only its release date wasn't so far away!

Just heard about both of these this past week, they both look amazing and i cant wait to read them. The Cinder Series is one of my favorites and its going to be great to get Levanas point of view!
