Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to highlight upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. I was lucky enough to get a copy of this book in the mail, and I’m pretty darn excited to read it!
Updraft by Fran Wilde. Releases in September 2015 from Tor Books. Gosh, it seems so many of my WoW picks have been from Tor lately! This one sounds fantastic, and takes place in a city in the sky. Here’s what Goodreads says:
In a city of living bone rising high above the clouds, where danger hides in the wind and the ground is lost to legend, a young woman must expose a dangerous secret to save everyone she loves
Welcome to a world of wind and bone, songs and silence, betrayal and courage.
Kirit Densira cannot wait to pass her wingtest and begin flying as a trader by her mother’s side, being in service to her beloved home tower and exploring the skies beyond. When Kirit inadvertently breaks Tower Law, the city’s secretive governing body, the Singers, demand that she become one of them instead. In an attempt to save her family from greater censure, Kirit must give up her dreams to throw herself into the dangerous training at the Spire, the tallest, most forbidding tower, deep at the heart of the City.
As she grows in knowledge and power, she starts to uncover the depths of Spire secrets. Kirit begins to doubt her world and its unassailable Laws, setting in motion a chain of events that will lead to a haunting choice, and may well change the city forever—if it isn’t destroyed outright.
What do you think? Let me know what you’re waiting on this week!
Love you new WoW banner! Also, this does sound good!

Thanks Lisa:-)
Growing up, I remember hunting used bookstores for nice, thick paperbacks with either the Tor logo or DAW logo on the spine. Even if there’s more competition now (which is great) they still define fantasy for me.
Totally agree with you, Bob! There’s something to be said for publishers who have stood the test of time:-D
This looks like this book will be really full of action. Great choice

Thanks Tabitha! It still isn’t doing exactly what I want it to do, but I’ll mess around with it more this weekend.
Haven’t heard of this one. I hope you enjoy it. My WOW
