Waiting on Wednesday: RED QUEEN by VICTORIA AVEYARD

This book, if you read my most anticipated reads of 2015 (which if you haven't you can read here) will come as no surprise as it was featured on there. I just adore the sound of this book it definitely puts me in the mind of The Selection trilogy by Keira Cass, which I loved so hopefully I love this just as much. It has also had some pretty amazing reviews so basically roll on February so I can get my little mitts on this book!

RED QUEEN by Victoria Aveyard
To be released on the 10th February (US) 12th February (UK)
Published by Orion/Harper Teen

"The poverty stricken Reds are commoners, living under the rule of the Silvers, elite warriors with god-like powers.


To Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from The Stilts, it looks like nothing will ever change.

Mare finds herself working in the Silver Palace, at the centre of
those she hates the most. She quickly discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy Silver control.

But power is a dangerous game. And in this world divided by blood, who will win?"

Waiting on Wednesday (#1)

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme that I see posted on a lot of different book blogs (I'm not sure who created it, I'm sorry) and seeing as there are so many amazing books being released this autumn I thought I'd join the bandwagon.

My most anticipated book of the year is being released in a matter of days, I cannot hold my excitement and the book that has got me going crazy is...

HEIR OF FIRE by SARAH J MAAS

Published by Bloomsbury

"Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien's only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan's Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King's Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan's biggest threat - and his own toughest enemy.
While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love?
This third novel in the Throne of Glass sequence, from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, is packed with more heart-stopping action, devastating drama and swoonsome romance, and introduces some fierce new heroines to love and hate. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones." - taken from Amazon

By the time that this is posted it will already have been released in the USA (2nd September) but unfortunately I have to wait until the UK release date which is 11th September which is so frustrating because I need it now!!

This is the third book in the epic Throne of Glass series. If you have been living under a rock and have not read these books (Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight and the bind up of novellas The Assassin's Blade) then you really need to because they have not only a badass heroine, epic fight scenes and an interesting magical element but they also have romance that is believable and makes you want to root for. Also if that doesn't sway you (which it should) the covers are one of the best and most beautiful that I have ever seen, honestly just look at them.. they are so gorgeous I would frame them.
