Waiting on Wednesday- Flame in the Mist By: Renee Ahdieh

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature/meme hosted here at Breaking the Spine. The idea behind it is to share upcoming releases that we can't wait to get our hands on! 

My pick for this week is Flame in the Mist By: Renee Ahdieh. Yey a new book by Renee Ahdieh!!! So this one is a little far out from now, it's expected publication date being in May. I just had to share this one though because I'm so excited for it. I'm really intrigued by the Feudal Japan background. I think this one will be FANTASTIC. Also, I just found this and I'm adding it in last minute. It's an article with the COVER and an EXCERPT!

Expected Publication Date: May 2, 2017

So even though I'm way early on sharing this one, what do you think? Are you looking forward to this one too? What do you think of the Feudal Japan setting? In the summary it says, "Mulan meets Tamora Pierce" and I haven't read any Tamora Pierce, but I LOVE Mulan! What are you waiting on Wednesday?

The Crown and the Arrow (The Wrath and the Dawn #0.5) By: Renee Ahdieh Mini Review

As you may know I don't read a lot of prequels and novellas. A lot of times I don't care for them so I steer clear of them for the most part. The Crown and the Arrow is free on Amazon right now so I figured what the heck I will give it a shot. 

This novella is only 9 pages long and it's a snippet from Khalid's POV. I thought it was okay. It was intriguing to see from Khalid's POV and lord knows I'm glad it was not a full book from his POV. I do NOT want that at all, but this being a quick read was fine. However, I found it unnecessary. Which is why I didn't rate it higher. I just wanted something in there that made me say oh hey I'm so glad I read that. Which was not the case for me. 

Overall The Crown and the Arrow is not a necessary read, but it wasn't a bad read either. It's super short and free on Amazon right now so if you are a fan of The Wrath and the Dawn I would say go ahead and give this a go if you want. I don't think you are missing anything if you decide not to read it though.

*Note* I'm not sure if this is still free on Amazon or not. 

Waiting on Wednesday- The Rose and the Dagger By: Renee Ahdieh

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature/meme hosted here at Breaking the Spine. The idea behind it is to share upcoming releases that we can't wait to get our hands on!

My pick for this week is The Rose and the Dagger By: Renee Ahdieh. I finally read the Wrath and the Dawn this January and now I can't wait for the sequel! I'm half sorry I didn't read it sooner and I half wish I had waited even longer. I don't know how I will wait till May! I'm sure there are a lot of us in the same boat on this one. I can't wait to see what happens with Shahrzad and Khalid. I need this to be EPIC. Also, I am dying for more information about her powers! If you haven't read The Wrath and the Dawn yet then I suggest you do, but maybe wait till closer to May. It really is torture waiting on this one. 

Expected Publication Date: May 3,2016

Summary From Goodreads: 

Anyone else waiting on this one? Okay, I'm sure there are a lot of us waiting! What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
