This is why I put these two books in this Epic Fantasy edition of Waiting on Wednesday. These two books will blow minds and kick butts!! Hell yeah!!

Froi of the Exiles by Melina Marchetta

Coming out on  March 13th 2012!!

From master storyteller Melina Marchetta comes an exhilarating new fantasy springing from her celebrated epic, Finnikin of the Rock.

Three years after the curse on Lumatere was lifted, Froi has found his home . . . or so he believes. Fiercely loyal to the Queen and Finnikin, Froi has been taken roughly and lovingly in hand by the Guard sworn to protect the royal family, and has learned to control his quick temper with a warrior's discipline. But when he is sent on a secretive mission to the kingdom of Charyn, nothing could have prepared him for what he finds in its surreal royal court. Soon he must unravel both the dark bonds of kinship and the mysteries of a half-mad princess in this barren and mysterious place. It is in Charyn that he will discover there is a song sleeping in his blood . . . and though Froi would rather not, the time has come to listen.

And here is Bitterblue!! Oh! How I love Graceling and Fire! Kristin Cashore has taken a while to write this book but it will be worth it. I know it will be!!!  I can't wait for these books to come out. I breathe Fantasy and next year will be just EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!EPIC!!

Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore

Coming out on May 1st 2012!

Eight years after Graceling, Bitterblue is now queen of Monsea. But the influence of her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities, lives on. Her advisors, who have run things since Leck died, believe in a forward-thinking plan: Pardon all who committed terrible acts under Leck’s reign, and forget anything bad ever happened. But when Bitterblue begins sneaking
outside the castle—disguised and alone—to walk the streets of her own city, she starts realizing that the kingdom has been under the thirty-five-year spell of a madman, and the only way to move forward is to revisit the past.
Two thieves, who only 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, with an extreme skill called a Grace that he hasn’t yet identified, holds a key to her heart.

Dude!!! Are you drooling? Oh yes you are!!

What are you waiting on this Wednesday? =P
