It is my birthday month and hopefully that means all my planned reads for the next few weeks are all awesome and five-stars. It's not too much to hope for is it? I should say not.
Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson
In Oathbringer, the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe with numbers as great as their thirst for vengeance.
Dalinar Kholin's Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified.
Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar's blood-soaked past and stand together--and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past--even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization.
I am so excited and so scared and nervous that I have not even read the finished review copy Tor sent me. I'M SORRY TOR it's just all so much pressure. But I do plan to marathon this in the next few days and have a review for the pub date of the 14th!
Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills -- Mills is quickly becoming the queen of contemporary YA for me. This looks so good and she writes such good friendships.
The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia --I am and will always be a sucker for a manners-and-magic kinda story. So this looks excellent on both fronts.
Before the Devil Breaks You by Libba Bray -- hoo boy here we go with the third Diviners. I haven't even seen my copy yet and I am 100% already Not Ready for this.
Hamilton's Battalion by Rose Lerner, Courtney Milan, and Alyssa Cole -- though I have yet to read Lerner or Milan yet (sorry Dani!!!) I love Cole and I am v excited for a diverse romance historical.. even if I am not a Hamilperson (sorry, world).
An Unkindness of Magicians by Kat Howard
There is a dark secret that is hiding at the heart of New York City and diminishing the city’s magicians’ power in this fantasy thriller by acclaimed author Kat Howard.
In New York City, magic controls everything. But the power of magic is fading. No one knows what is happening, except for Sydney—a new, rare magician with incredible power that has been unmatched in decades, and she may be the only person who is able to stop the darkness that is weakening the magic. But Sydney doesn’t want to help the system, she wants to destroy it.
Sydney comes from the House of Shadows, which controls the magic with the help of sacrifices from magicians.
This just sound absolutely fucking amazing and that cover kills meeeeee.
