Waiting on Wednesday #73

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 Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young!
OND ELDR. BREATHE FIRE.

Raised to be a warrior, seventeen-year-old Eelyn fights alongside her Aska clansmen in an ancient rivalry against the Riki clan. Her life is brutal but simple: fight and survive. Until the day she sees the impossible on the battlefield—her brother, fighting with the enemy—the brother she watched die five years ago.

Faced with her brother's betrayal, she must survive the winter in the mountains with the Riki, in a village where every neighbor is an enemy, every battle scar possibly one she delivered. But when the Riki village is raided by a ruthless clan thought to be a legend, Eelyn is even more desperate to get back to her beloved family.

She is given no choice but to trust Fiske, her brother’s friend, who sees her as a threat. They must do the impossible: unite the clans to fight together, or risk being slaughtered one by one. Driven by a love for her clan and her growing love for Fiske, Eelyn must confront her own definition of loyalty and family while daring to put her faith in the people she’s spent her life hating.

 Why I'm Waiting
I just heard about this book earlier this week! I saw some reviews from Amy @ A Magical World of Words and Di @ Book Reviews by Di, and while they didn't love the book, they're reviews did convince me to pick up the book. I have since requested the book from my local library, which they don't have in stock yet, but they are getting it soon! Hopefully I love the book!

Are you looking forward to Sky in the Deep?

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

Happy Reading!

      I've either heard "meh" reviews or glowing ones! Let's hope I fall into the latter. :)
