"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme created by Jill at Breaking the Spine. A spin-off of the meme called "Can't Wait Wednesday" is now hosted at Wishful Endings. It lets us all gush about what soon-to-be released books we are jumping-up-and-down excited for.
hitting shelves April 2nd, 2019
from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Seventeen-year-old Revna is a factory worker, manufacturing war machines for the Union of the North. When she's caught using illegal magic, she fears being branded a traitor and imprisoned. Meanwhile, on the front lines, Linné defied her father, a Union general, and disguised herself as a boy to join the army. They're both offered a reprieve from punishment if they use their magic in a special women's military flight unit and undertake terrifying, deadly missions under cover of darkness. Revna and Linné can hardly stand to be in the same cockpit, but if they can't fly together, and if they can't find a way to fly well, the enemy's superior firepower will destroy them--if they don't destroy each other first.
My thoughts: I could be way off base with this, but I am totally picturing an alternate universe 1940s Rose the Riveter type character with magical abilities. And I am 100% HERE FOR IT!!! Then I see that they are plunged into a Night Witches type flight unit, and I am completely dead waiting for this one to come out!! Deadly missions, forbidden magic,...it all sounds amazing!!
What book are you eagerly anticipating this week?
