Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. My choice this week is a sequel, but it is a sequel to a book I wasn’t quite sure if I was blown away by, Becoming Jinn. It was good enough that I do want to read on though. So here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Being Jinn is Azra’s new reality. As she grants wishes under the watchful eye of the Afrit council, she remains torn between her two worlds—human and Jinn. Soon, secrets spill. Zars are broken. Humans become pawns. And rumors of an uprising become real as the Afrit’s reach extends beyond the underground world of Janna.
Straddling the line becomes impossible. Aware of her unique abilities, Azra must not just face but embrace her destiny. But when the role she must play and those she must protect expand to include a circle of Jinn greater than her own, Azra will be forced to risk everything. A risk that means there’s everything to lose, and at the same time, everything to gain—for herself and her entire Jinn race.
In this dramatic sequel to Becoming Jinn, Azra’s story comes to a heartfelt and thrilling conclusion.
Have you started this series yet? Does it sound like one you’d like to start if you haven’t yet? What book are you eagerly awaiting this week?
Well I haven't started the series yet but the first book has been on my tbr shelf since it first came out – there is simply not enough time in the day/week/month/year to read ALL of the books we want to! Le sigh. Hopefully the sequel here will officially blow you away 🙂 Awesome pick Lisa and happy hump day! xx
Hoping that the sequel will pull me in better than the first one. I would like to be blown away more this time. Thanks for stopping by!
I haven't read Becoming Jinn but I think it's on my TBR list. I'll have to pick it up before this one releases 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Lisa!

It's a pretty quick read. Maybe you'll get to it right when this one comes out and read them right in a row. Thanks for visiting!
Yeah, I read lots of mixed reviews for Becoming Jinn. Still, I hope to read it one day. Nice pick!

It was good enough that I want to know what happens next. But not enough that I'll run out and buy it right away. Thanks for stopping by!
I had to DNF Becoming Jinn, but I am happy for djinn books are coming out!
I almost did a couple times, but ended up finishing and not being too disappointed. So I'll continue the series as long as they are quick reads. Thanks for visiting!
I haven't read the first one in this series and am not sure if I am going to :/ I know people had a lot of mixed feelings on the book. I am looking forward to hearing what they have to say about this one, and if it is good enough I might just embark on the series myself 😉
It wasn't the best book I read all year, but like I said, it was good enough that I want to read on and see where it goes.
I didn't read the first book. I heard mixed reviews. I hope you enjoy this when you get it. Thanks for stopping by my WOW
Yeah, it wasn't the greatest. But I do want to know what will happen next. Thanks for returning the stop!
I haven't read the first books yet; I'm a little hesitant because of the mixed reviews. But it's still on my TBR list.
Thanks for stopping by!
Well maybe you can wait and see if people like the 2nd one any better and then decide if you'll get to it or not. Thanks for returning the stop!
I really liked the first book and the second one sounds just as amazing!
Glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
I haven't started this series yet, but I've heard a lot of good things. Hope this one is awesome!
Thanks for sharing (:
I'm hoping it will be really good as well!
Seems like your feelings are a bit mixed whether you'll continue with the series after this one. Hope you will enjoy it. 🙂

Yeah, if I get an advanced copy of it, I'll probably read it like I did with the first one. But it will need to be better in order for me to go on after that.
Sounds really interesting! Thanks for stopping by.
I thought so. Thanks for returning the stop!
