“Waiting on” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine. The purpose is to spotlight upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
Geisha-esque girl fighters, demonic beasts, powerful magic, witches and a strong bond between a sister and her accidentally resurrected brother? Um yeah, count me in because this sounds awesome!
My pick for this week: The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco
Expected publication: March 7th, 2017
What it’s about:
When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy means that she’s a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community. But Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to another land for training.
In her new home, Tea puts all her energy into becoming an asha — one who can wield elemental magic. But dark forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will have to overcome her obstacles…and make a powerful choice.
Memoirs of a Geisha meets The Name of the Wind in this brilliant new fantasy series by Rin Chupeco!

This one does have an amazing cover. And Memoirs of a Geisha meets Name of the Wind? Hmm. While I’m skeptical of comparisons generally this does sound really interesting. I’m curious about it now
They are some pretty big shoes to fill, so I’m curious too 🙂

They are indeed two very big shoes to fill, but I’m really curious to see if it will succeed 🙂
