Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by
Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re
eagerly anticipating.
This week’s pre-publication “can’t-wait-to-read”
selection is:
Ice Like Fire
By Sara Raasch
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Release date: October 13, 2015
From
Goodreads:
It’s been three
months since the Winterians were freed and Spring’s king, Angra,
disappeared—thanks largely to the help of Cordell.
Meira just wants her people to be safe. When Cordellan debt forces the Winterians to dig their mines for payment, they unearth something powerful and possibly dangerous: Primoria’s lost chasm of magic. Theron sees this find as an opportunity—with this much magic, the world can finally stand against threats like Angra. But Meira fears the danger the chasm poses—the last time the world had access to so much magic, it spawned the Decay. So when the king of Cordell orders the two on a mission across the kingdoms of Primoria to discover the chasm’s secrets, Meira plans to use the trip to garner support to keep the chasm shut and Winter safe—even if it means clashing with Theron. But can she do so without endangering the people she loves?
Mather just wants to be free. The horrors inflicted on the Winterians hang fresh and raw in Januari—leaving Winter vulnerable to Cordell’s growing oppression. When Meira leaves to search for allies, he decides to take Winter’s security into his own hands. Can he rebuild his broken kingdom and protect them from new threats?
As the web of power and deception weaves tighter, Theron fights for magic, Mather fights for freedom—and Meira starts to wonder if she should be fighting not just for Winter, but for the world.

My Thoughts:
I absolutely loved Snow Like Ashes!!! I went through a bit of
an obsession phase with this book, and I am not ashamed of it. If you haven’t
picked this book up yet, DO IT NOW!!! You won’t regret it. I didn’t write a
review for Snow Like Ashes because I read this before I started my blog. I do, however, plan on posting my review before Ice Like Fire is released. I also made a necklace
for Snow Like Ashes to help spread the love for this amazing book.
I really wanted and hoped I would get an ARC for Ice Like
Fire, but I wasn’t lucky enough to find one, so now I must patiently wait for
October 13, 2015. In the meantime though, I will meet Sara Raasch at Dragon Con
this year (and I am freaking out about it!!!). Have I mentioned how much I love
this series???? #TeamTheron
I was blown away by the beauty of the cover for Ice Like
Fire; it’s absolutely stunning!!! October 13 can’t get here soon enough.
Did you read Snow Like Ashes? If yes, what did you think of
it? Please keep comments spoiler free :)
P.S.: Did I mention I love this series and I can’t wait to
get my hands on Ice Like Fire???
I still need to read the first book!! Hopefully soon!! At least I won't have long to wait for the sequel hehe :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the best part of waiting to read a book; you can marathon the series :) it's been torture waiting for the sequel, especially since i loved it so much. Hope you enjoy it when you do get a chance to read it.
DeleteWoooo hope you enjoy the sequel!! I've still got to read the first book, but I've heard nothing but good reviews on it :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my Wow!

It's a great read. Hope you'll get to it soon :)
DeleteI haven't read this book, but wow, you really loved it. That's awesome! I like the covers and how they go together. And that necklace you made is TOO CUTE. Are you going to give one to the author when you meet her? That would be cool!

ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
I am so glad to hear you loved Snow Like Ashes! I also have high expectations for Ice Like Fire, but I am sure we won't be disappointed. :)
DeleteI still haven't read Snow Like Ashes but every time I see it I think about how much you LOVED it and want to move it up in my pile. It's going to happen and at this point either way I don't have a ton of time to wait for a sequel :)
ReplyDeleteI could re-read this you if you want me to. I love it and I wouldn't mind a refresher before I dive in Ice Like Fire.
DeleteI also haven't read the first one, but I really want to. I love it when the covers are coherent and you can tell what series they are from without question. Cool necklace by the way and enjoy meeting the author!
ReplyDeleteI love both covers; so much detail included. I hope you'll enjoy Snow Like Ashes when you get a chance to read it. :)
