Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Participating bloggers highlight an upcoming release that they can’t wait to read.
My pick this week is a book I’m physically craving. It’s probably the book I’m having the hardest time waiting for.
A Conjuring of Light by V. E. Schwab
Release Date: February 21, 2017
From Goodreads:
The battle between four magical Londons comes to a head in this stunning finale to the New York Times bestselling Shades of Magic trilogy by rising star V. E. Schwab
Londons fall and kingdoms rise while darkness sweeps the Maresh Empire—and the fraught balance of magic blossoms into dangerous territory while heroes and foes struggle alike. The direct sequel to A Gathering of Shadows, and the final book in the Shades of Magic epic fantasy series, A Conjuring of Light sees Schwab reach a thrilling culmination concerning the fate of beloved protagonists—and old enemies.
I LOVED the first two books in the series. The world Schwab has built is so appealing and enticing and layered, as are the characters I’ve come to love. The first novel was fairly self-contained, but I, of course, couldn’t stop there. The second book picks up after some time has passed, and was exciting and frustrating and heartbreaking all at once. It ended on a cliffhanger, and I just can’t wait to see how everyone fares. Schwab has promised character deaths. She’s also mentioned on Twitter that she has written a scene that physically pained her (and there were a few in the first 2 books as well). I just can’t. February is way too far away. I will definitely be pre-ordering this book.
How about you? What are you looking forward to? Have you read this series? Are you dying as much as I am? Let me know below!

Too long of a wait. Way too long!

I know, right?!? This series is my reminder of why I usually read series that are already complete…but the anticipation part is kind of fun. It’s going to be hard to say goodbye!

Omigod, yet, I completely share your craving for this book. Except I’m excited and reluctant all at the same time since I don’t want to say goodbye to the rich world(s) and unique characters. Plus, I’ve heard V.E. Schwab kills off lots of people, and I’m afraid to find out who. And I’m so curious about the whole Lila-has-a-missing-eye thing. Hmmm…

I’m with you on all of those points! Ever since we found out that Lilah had a missing eye, I’ve had my theories. Also, I really hope we get to find out the story of Kell’s past! So much anticipation!!

The waiting, while supposedly part of the fun, really is agonizing. But I will likely pass some of the time by re-reading the first two!
