Hello and good morning all you lovely bookworms. I like to think I’m a fairly positive person but I have been feeling battered down recently. I got to keep telling myself that its a good day, week, month, etc. and keep that little mantra in my head at all times. It’s only going to get better if I make it so, right.
Anyway, welcome to another Can’t Wait Wednesday/Waiting of Wednesday which is hosted by Wishful Endings and was previously hosted by Breaking the Spine. It was created to show off a future release that you are excited for. So, let’s just jump right into it.
The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart
Expected Publication: September 8, 2020 by Orbit
Goodreads Synopsis
In an empire controlled by bone shard magic, Lin, the former heir to the emperor will fight to reclaim her magic and her place on the throne. The Bone Shard Daughter marks the debut of a major new voice in epic fantasy.
The emperor’s reign has lasted for decades, his mastery of bone shard magic powering the animal-like constructs that maintain law and order. But now his rule is failing, and revolution is sweeping across the Empire’s many islands.
Lin is the emperor’s daughter and spends her days trapped in a palace of locked doors and dark secrets. When her father refuses to recognize her as heir to the throne, she vows to prove her worth by mastering the forbidden art of bone shard magic.
Yet such power carries a great cost, and when the revolution reaches the gates of the palace, Lin must decide how far she is willing to go to claim her birthright – and save her people.
My Thoughts
This book sounds like it has the makings of epic fantasy. I’m intrigued to see the magic system and how it works. I love books that show different kinds of magic and what costs it requires to maintain a balance.
What are your thoughts? Is this a book you are excited about being released? Let me know in the comments below! And as always, happy reading!
