Waiting on Wednesday; Strange Chemistry Titles!
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Each week bloggers highlight the books that they are highly anticipating.
This week I am waiting on two books!
17 year-old Riven comes from a world ravaged by a devastating android war, a parallel world to Earth. A Legion General, she is the right hand of the young Prince of Neospes. In Neospes, she has everything: rank, responsibility and respect. But when Prince Cale sends her away to find his long-lost brother, Caden, who has been spirited back to modern day Earth, Riven finds herself in uncharted territory. Thrown out of her comfort zone but with the mindset of a soldier and in a race against time to bring Caden home, Riven has to learn how to be a girl in a realm that is the opposite of what she knows. Will Riven be able to find the strength to defy her very nature? Or will she become the monstrous soldier she was designed to be?
I heard about this one the other day and while I haven’t read any other books by Amalie Howard, I was completely drawn to this one. It sounds like the perfect book for me!
The circus lies behind Micah Grey in dust and ashes. He and the White Clown, Drystan, have taken refuge in the decaying Kymri Theatre, home to the once-great magician, Jasper Maske. Though no longer a circus performer, Micah must still conduct a balancing act between his past and his future, while both avoiding the renewed and embittered rivalry of the magicians of Ellada, and the Policiers who are convinced Micah played a part in the death of his old Ringmaster.
A tale of phantom wings, a clockwork hand, and the delicate unfurling of new love, Shadowplay continues Micah Grey’s extraordinary journey.
I loved Pantomime and after the ending have been itching to get my hands on the next book in this series! And now that the cover has been released, I’m even more excited and intrigued! Have you read Pantomime yet?

I first heard about The Almost Girl yesterday and it sounds so good! Shadowplay looks good too but I haven’t yet read Pantomime.

Fantastic picks! both of these sound splendid. Thanks for the introduction. They both sound full of mystery and great characters. The ShadowPlay cover is perfect and scary with the cards and women poker face.

I still need to read Pantomime. I’ll get to it, eventually, I’m sure. The Almost Girl sounds incredible though, I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for it!

I think Strange Chemistry have an amazing list of books that they publish and I’m so excited about almost all of them. Including these two! And especially Shadowplay!
