Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
Heir of Fire
by Sarah J. Maas
Series: Throne of Glass #3
Publication Date: 02 September 2014
by Bloomsbury USA Childrens
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?
HAHA. THE COVER IS OUT. OH YEAH. THOUGH BY THE TIME THIS POST IS UP, IT WOULD’VE BEEN SOME TIME SINCE THE COVER WAS RELEASED. AND YES. THIS WHOLE PARAGRAPH WILL BE IN CAPS BECAUSE I AM SIMPLY THIS EXCITED FOR HEIR OF FIRE AND MORE CHAOLAENA AND WYVERNS AND MAGIC AND EVIL AND DEATH AND BADASSERY AND CELAENA AND CHAOL AND DORIAN AND NEW CHARACTERS AND FEELS AND HEARTBREAK AND SWOON AND OK. I SHALL STOP.
What book are you waiting on this week? :)
AHH! HEIR OF FIRE!
I’m super excited about this too. It comes out on the 11th in the UK, though, from what I can see :-( I shall just have to wait a whole 9 more days for Celaena. You can read an extract from it on the author’s website and it didn’t help my excitement… :-)
And the cover is awesome, no?

I’m not sure about this series (I love fantasy but an mc who is an assassin? Sounds tough to connect with), but I know people love it and I hope the last book is fantastic!

Celaena’s actually surprisingly relatable! I love how Sarah J. Maas clearly separates her personality and her ‘career’. You really should pick this series soon! It’s epic. ;)
