A weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine

Title: Queen of Shadows
Series: Throne of Glass #4
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Published: September 1, 2015 by Bloomsbury USA Childrens

Synopsis: Sarah J. Maas's New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series reaches new heights in this sweeping fourth volume. 

Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she's at last returned to the empire—for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past . . . She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die just to see her again. 

She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen's triumphant return. 

Celaena’s epic journey has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions across the globe. This fourth volume will hold readers rapt as Celaena’s story builds to a passionate, agonizing crescendo that might just shatter her world 

Why I'm Waiting 

I was late to the Throne of Glass party. Fashionaly late, but late. I marathoned the series last September just after Heir of Fire came out. It is a total me series and I'm glad I took the time to read the first three books. But that being said I now have this problem where I am desperately waiting for the next book in the series.

I'm particularly excited and anxious because of the way Heir of Fire ended. It destroyed my feels and I mean that in the best possible way. Heir of Fire was my favorite book in the series and I am really enjoying the way the series has been developing. The stakes are so much higher and things are totally up in the air for some of my favorite characters including a few of them being left on some really nerve-wracking cliffhangers. I need to find out what happens to them!

And finally I just need more Celaena in my life. She is one of my absolute favorite female protagonists. She's such a well-rounded and complex character and I really enjoy her character development in Heir of Fire. Plus a part of me loves Celaena when she's out for revenge. I seriously cannot wait!


What about you? What are you waiting for this Wednesday? Are you waiting for Queen of Shadows with me? Leave me a comment with your thoughts. Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY READING!

  2. This is another one I'm looking forward to as well. I have the series on my Kindle, but have not started them yet. It's going to be a massive back to back reading for me so I'm conflicted to read or just wait til the last one. Undecided on how I'll read it, but I know that I will. So looking forward to adding this one soon.

  10. This one is killing me. I was lucky enough to read the first three as ARCs, but of course they're not doing them for QoS. September is so far away...
