Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. I have not done this in a while, so I thought, why not?
This week I am eagerly awaiting Truthwitch (The Witchlands #1) by Susan Dennard . I am as equally excited as I am scared, mostly because this book is generating such a huge buzz, but unlike most I did not get a chance to read a sneak peek, so I am just going by the fact that I love Fantasy and can’t wait to try it!
On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a “witchery”, a magical skill that sets them apart from others.
In the Witchlands, there are almost as many types of magic as there are ways to get in trouble—as two desperate young women know all too well.
Safiya is a Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lie. It’s a powerful magic that many would kill to have on their side, especially amongst the nobility to which Safi was born. So Safi must keep her gift hidden, lest she be used as a pawn in the struggle between empires.
Iseult, a Threadwitch, can see the invisible ties that bind and entangle the lives around her—but she cannot see the bonds that touch her own heart. Her unlikely friendship with Safi has taken her from life as an outcast into one of reckless adventure, where she is a cool, wary balance to Safi’s hotheaded impulsiveness.
Safi and Iseult just want to be free to live their own lives, but war is coming to the Witchlands. With the help of the cunning Prince Merik (a Windwitch and ship’s captain) and the hindrance of a Bloodwitch bent on revenge, the friends must fight emperors, princes, and mercenaries alike, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch.
What do you guys think? What are all of you waiting for?

I put this on my wishlist when I saw it got glowing recommendations from the author’s friend, Sarah J. Maas, and also author Maria Snyder. I don’t always trust other authors’ recommendation blurbs, but I want to take a chance on this anyway.
