Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. I’ve chosen another sequel this week. This time to a book I got an ARC of right about this time of the year last year. Unfortunately I haven’t received the sequel as an ARC. I’m very excited to read on and see what happens next. And while I love this cover, I feel like it doesn’t quite match the feel of the first one in the series, Dark Metropolis. But enough about that, here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Bodies line the streets of Urobrun; a great pyre burns in Republic Square. The rebels grow anxious behind closed doors while Marlis watches as the politicians search for answers—and excuses—inside the Chancellery.
Thea, Freddy, Nan, and Sigi are caught in the crossfire, taking refuge with a vibrant, young revolutionary and a mysterious healer from Irminau. As the battle lines are drawn, a greater threat casts a dark shadow over the land. Magic might be lost—forever.
This action-packed sequel to Dark Metropolis weaves political intrigue, haunting magic, and heartbreaking romance into an unforgettable narrative. Dolamore’s lyrical writing and masterfully crafted plot deliver a powerful conclusion.
Sounds like there will definitely be some resolving of the questions left at the end of the first one, especially since this is the conclusion to the book.
So, what are you waiting for this week?

I'm so excited for this book! I loved Dark Metropolis and it feels like it's been forever since I read it. That's probably because I had an ARC and read it months before it was out. I'm not a fan of the cover change, but I guess that's being nitpicky. Great choice!

It has been since this time last year I believe. In fact, I think I finished reading it on my flight to NYC to go to BEA last year. 🙂 I'm with you on the cover change. I like the new one, but don't like that it doesn't go with the first one. Thanks for stopping by!
I haven't read the first book, but it looks like I need to. This book sounds amazing. I hope you enjoy it!
Check out my WoW – Under the Lights!
You should, the first book was really good. Thanks for visiting!
Nice pick Lisa, I just read your review for Metropolis and it was great! I might to pick the first book first before this. I just notice that the cover for this book, is quite far from the feels of the Metropolis.. 🙂
Yeah, the cover is a whole different type and feeling, not sure if I like that. You should pick them up if you get a chance! Thanks for stopping by!
Definitely a different cover to the first book. Though, I've not read Dark Metropolis yet, It's on my TBR. Nice choice but that cover threw me for a loop.
Yeah, when I saw the cover of the new one I wondered if it was really the sequel because it was so different. Thanks for visiting!
Ooh, this sounds good! Thanks for visiting my blog 🙂

I'm scheduled to read / review The Rhyme of the Magpie (Birds of a Feather Mystery, book 1) by Marty Wingate being released Jun 2, 2015. I think it will be good.

Hmm, haven't heard of that one. I'll have to go check it out! Thanks for stopping by!
I still need to read the first book but I've heard nothing but good things about it! This is the first time I've seen the cover for the sequel, hopefully I'll get to book one before this one comes out XD GREAT pick Lisa^^ xx
If you get to it right before the next one is out,then you can read them back to back. Always love when I can do that. Thanks for visiting!
I've been wanting to read Dark Metropolis but it keeps getting pushed to the back. I'll be putting it to the front sometime.
Thanks for stopping by!
You'll just have to wait until right before or after this comes out and then you can read them back to back! Thanks for returning the stop!
This book sounds so interesting! I will definitely check the series out!
