This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
This is what they deserve. They wanted me to be a monster. I will be the worst monster they ever created.
Fifteen-year-old Sloane can incinerate an enemy at will—she is a Scion, a descendant of the ancient Orisha gods.
Under the Lucis’ brutal rule, her identity means her death if her powers are discovered. But when she is forcibly conscripted into the Lucis army on her fifteenth birthday, Sloane sees a new opportunity: to overcome the bloody challenges of Lucis training, and destroy them from within.
Sloane rises through the ranks and gains strength but, in doing so, risks something greater: losing herself entirely, and becoming the very monster that she ahbors.
Following one girl’s journey of magic, injustice, power, and revenge, this deeply felt and emotionally charged debut from Deborah Falaye, inspired by Yoruba-Nigerian mythology, is a magnetic combination of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin and Daughter of Smoke and Bone that will utterly thrill and capture readers.

Why I’m Waiting: MANNNNNNN if you’re not excited for this we can’t be friends lol I kid, I kid! But really tho, this looks SO GOOD. Good enough for me to keep talking in caps. But first there’s the Black girl on the cover, and then there’s it’s African mythology?! But the kicker is the author described it as Wonder Woman meets Beasts of No Nation. And Lawd, we all know I love Wonder Woman. I want this so bad. HarperTeen or Deborah Falaye, if you’re listening, I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THIS ARC. WHAT CAN I DO?!
What about you? Will you be reading this? Are you waiting on this with me? Have you heard of this? Let me know in the comments!
Ooh! That does sound exciting and the perfect read for you! Anytime I see anything Wonder Woman, I always wonder…does Nikki have this? Does she need this? Most likely! Lol. Truly hope HarperTeen or Deborah sees your plea!!
Here’s my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
