Waiting On Wednesday: Crown of Midnight by Sara J. Maas || Twilight Sleep

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases we’re ~~dying for~~ ~~panting over~~ eagerly awaiting the chance to read.

My pick for this week is Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2) by Sarah J. Maas!

Coming August 27, 2013
An assassin’s loyalties are always in doubt.
But her heart never wavers.

After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king’s contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.

Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the king’s bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she’s given a task that could jeopardize everything she’s come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon — forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice.

Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?

I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover but that’s exactly what I did when I saw this one. I knew I had to have it. Thankfully, reviews for this one seem to be quite favorable – it currently holds a 4.68-star rating on Goodreads!

Note: I wrote and scheduled this post before the events of last week, in which I RECEIVED AN ARC OF THIS BOOK! I’m very excited – I won’t have to wait quite as long to read it after all. :D

What are you ~~patiently~~ waiting on?
