Title: Bitterblue
Genre: Fantasy
Publisher: Dial / Gollancz (Orion Publishing Group)
Expected publication: May 1st 2012
A new novel from Kristin Cashore, set in the same world as GRACELING and FIRE.
The long-awaited companion to the New York Times bestsellers Graceling and Fire
Eight years have passed since the young Princess Bitterblue, and her country, were saved from the vicious King Leck. Now Bitterblue is the queen of Monsea, and her land is at peace.
But the influence of her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities, lives on. Her advisers, who have run the country on her behalf since Leck's death, believe in a forward-thinking plan: to pardon all of those who committed terrible acts during Leck's reign; and to forget every dark event that ever happened. Monsea's past has become shrouded in mystery, and it's only when Bitterblue begins sneaking out of her castle - curious, disguised and alone - to walk the streets of her own city, that she begins to realise the truth. Her kingdom has been under the thirty-five-year long spell of a madman, and now their only chance to move forward is to revisit the past.
Whatever that past holds.
Two thieves, who have sworn only to steal what has already been stolen, change her life forever. They hold a key to the truth of Leck's reign. And one of them, who possesses an unidentified Grace, may also hold a key to her heart . . .

I loved Graceling and Fire, therefore I am beyond the excitement words can muster for this book!
I LOVE Fire! But I still yet have to read Graceling though. Great choice!

I can't believe I haven't read this series yet. Graceling has been sitting on my shelf for quite a while now and whenever I see one of the books on someone's blog, I'm getting angry at myself for not having started Graceling yet. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! :)

ReplyDeleteI haven't read Graceling or Fire, but I've heard so many great things that I definitely need to check this series out! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by! Great choice :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough I didn't like Graceling very much I still want to read Bitterblue really badly! Can't wait to see the older Bitterblue and her story. Great Pick! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the other two books, but I love the last cover!
