Waiting on Wednesday. The Girl in the Tower

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week on WoW is The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden. Another beautifully eerie cover. 💖 As usual, I haven't started reading this series yet -although, I do have the first book, The Bear and the Nightingale, staring at me on my bookshelf... making me feel guilty because I haven't picked it up yet... and making me feel guilty because I've been thinking about buying another edition cause I'm in love with its cover (I know it' a waste of money but the cover is really pretty). The book will be released on December 5th.

"The magical adventure begun in The Bear and the Nightingale continues as brave Vasya, now a young woman, is forced to choose between marriage or life in a convent and instead flees her home—but soon finds herself called upon to help defend the city of Moscow when it comes under siege.

Orphaned and cast out as a witch by her village, Vasya’s options are few: resign herself to life in a convent, or allow her older sister to make her a match with a Moscovite prince. Both doom her to life in a tower, cut off from the vast world she longs to explore. So instead she chooses adventure, disguising herself as a boy and riding her horse into the woods. When a battle with some bandits who have been terrorizing the countryside earns her the admiration of the Grand Prince of Moscow, she must carefully guard the secret of her gender to remain in his good graces—even as she realizes his kingdom is under threat from mysterious forces only she will be able to stop."
