Waiting on Wednesdays is the brainchild of Jill at Breaking the Spine, and because Jill isn’t hosting it any more, I’m now linking up with Can’t Wait Wednesday at Wishful Endings. Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week!
This cover was just revealed last week, and I couldn’t be more excited for the fourth novella in McGuire’s wonderful Wayward Children series! Take a look:
A stand-alone fantasy tale from Seanan McGuire’s Alex-award winning Wayward Children series, which began in the Alex, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning, World Fantasy Award finalist, Tiptree Honor List Every Heart a Doorway
This is the story of a very serious young girl who would rather study and dream than become a respectable housewife and live up to the expectations of the world around her. As well she should.
When she finds a doorway to a world founded on logic and reason, riddles and lies, she thinks she’s found her paradise. Alas, everything costs at the goblin market, and when her time there is drawing to a close, she makes the kind of bargain that never plays out well.
For anyone . . .
In An Absent Dream (Wayward Children #4) by Seanan McGuire. Releases in January 2019 from Tor.com. Yes, it’s a looong way away! I even hate to type “2019” because it’s giving me anxiety! Yes, these novellas are stand-alones, however, you really should read the entire series, as various characters keep reappearing from story to story. Can’t wait!
I love this cover as much as the rest although Sticks and Bones will remain my favorite because it is so dark and atmospheric. Uggghh, what a long wait! I think this one sound s pretty good. Beneath the Sugar Sky fell a tad flat for me but I think it was because the world reminded me of Alice in Wonderland too much and I never liked Alice. I have HIGH hopes for this one.
I think Sticks and Bones is my favorite as well. And I felt the same about Beneath the Sugar Sky, I’m not a big fan of Alice, and it just felt too silly to me.
I’m so happy that this series is continuing! Loving this cover and can’t wait for January!
Me too, I think there are at least two more after this one:-)
Really looking forward to this one!
I wish it wasn’t so far away…
I want to live in that cover!
Me too!! It’s so gorgeous and magical:-)
So happy to your taking over WOW!! Also these novellas sound awesome!
They really are awesome, I highly recommend this series!
Another Wayward Children book is truly something to look forward to, even though its predecessor – Beneath the Sugar Sky, that I finished just a few days ago – did not exactly meet my tastes. But I trust McGuire to rally and amaze us once again… 🙂
I didn’t really like the last one either. It just didn’t have the same dark feel as the others. Judging by this cover, hopefully she’s going back to a darker story.
Less sugar, more darkness! That’s what we really want… 😀 😀
Arg, I’m still not caught up with this series! I can’t even remember if I’ve read the first one yet, she’s coming out with so much stuff it’s easy to get confused 😀
Ha ha, I know she is one busy writer. The good part is you can read these out of order, although I know you don’t usually do that:-)
I love her writing! I’ve only read the first in this series, but given this is a standalone, I might see if I can get into this one. As ever, you have managed to choose a book I really, really want:)
You can definitely jump into this one. These covers just make me happy:-)
Oh no, I didn’t know this was slated for 2019! I thought it was sometime this Fall! Must…Learn…Patience…
Yeah, January seems really far:-(
One of these days I will make time to try something by McGuire
I want to read more of her books, I’ve barely scratched the surface!
This author never fails to leave me in awe with how prolific she is. She’s amazing!
Ooh, what an enchanting cover! I haven’t started this series yet but I’ve been meaning to and have a couple of the books waiting on my kindle. I really love the synopsis for this one too. Great pick!
Okay.. So.. I haven’t read this series yet, but with every book being announced and release, my hype and expectations just rise exponentially!! Those covers <3
I don’t know how she does it! So many books. I do want to catch up with this series – the first was so good.
Lynn 😀
