Waiting on Wednesday: Crown of Embers by Rae Carson

Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Breaking the Spine, is dedicated to books we just can't wait to read. And I am definety interested to see what happens in the second installment of the Fire and Thorns (ps, could that be the worst series name ever? poss.) books by Rae Carson. The Crown of Embers isn't out until the fall, but I will be getting involved then. It is making this WoW because they just released the cover....... which to me looks like they let some intern alone with paintshop and clipart for a while and called it a day. WHAT IS GOING ON.


These covers are just so...so.... I don't even know. It's not ok. But do not let that keep you from a good read:


"Elisa is the hero of her country. She led her people to victory against a terrifying enemy, and now she is their queen. But she is only seventeen years old. Her rivals may have simply retreated, choosing stealth over battle. And no one within her court trusts her-except Hector, the commander of the royal guard, and her companions. As the country begins to crumble beneath her and her enemies emerge from the shadows, Elisa will take another journey. With a one-eyed warrior, a loyal friend, an enemy defector, and the man she is falling in love with, Elisa crosses the ocean in search of the perilous, uncharted, and mythical source of the Godstone’s power. That is not all she finds." (Good Reads summary)
