Waiting on Wednesday #61

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'll be participating in Waiting on Wednesday, and meme originally created by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Jill hasn't been active for a while, so Tressa @ Wishful Endings has adopted it! If you see posts by the name of "Can't Wait Wednesday," it's the same thing!

 The book I'm looking forward to this week is Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston!

Seventeen-year-old Ana is a scoundrel by nurture and an outlaw by nature. Found as a child drifting through space with a sentient android called D09, Ana was saved by a fearsome space captain and the grizzled crew she now calls family. But D09—one of the last remaining illegal Metals—has been glitching, and Ana will stop at nothing to find a way to fix him.

Ana’s desperate effort to save D09 leads her on a quest to steal the coordinates to a lost ship that could offer all the answers. But at the last moment, a spoiled Ironblood boy beats Ana to her prize. He has his own reasons for taking the coordinates, and he doesn’t care what he’ll sacrifice to keep them.

When everything goes wrong, she and the Ironblood end up as fugitives on the run. Now their entire kingdom is after them—and the coordinates—and not everyone wants them captured alive.

What they find in a lost corner of the universe will change all their lives—and unearth dangerous secrets. But when a darkness from Ana’s past returns, she must face an impossible choice: does she protect a kingdom that wants her dead or save the Metal boy she loves?


Here are some stats about the book:
Genre - YA Science Fiction
Release Date - February 27, 2018
Publisher - Balzer + Bray
Pages - 480
Why I'm Waiting
Once again I'm featuring another YA science fiction book! I love the sound of this one. Sentient andriods? Coordinates to a lost ship? A possible love triangle? Sign me up! I haven't seen many ARC reviews for this, but I'm hoping that they will be positive! I probably won't get to this one until college ends though.

Are you looking forward to Heart of Iron?

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!

Happy Reading!

      I like the cover as well! For some reason I think "fantasy" when I see it and not "science-fiction" though.

    Very interesting cover. I tend to automatically assume this is fantasy and not science fiction from the cover as well. Nice choice though and I hope you love it.

    I actually read/reviewed this one recently and didn't enjoy the book. Could have been just me though. I hope you love it!

    Have a wonderful week, Genni. =)

      I just looked at your review, and I commented and said I wasn't anticipating this, haha!! I guess time wore me down, because now I'm genuinely excited for the book. XD
