Waiting on Wednesday (6)

Waiting on Wednesdays is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine in which bloggers feature highly anticipated books.

This week, my feature is on Palace of Stone by Shannon Hale.

Shannon Hales's Princess Academy was one of my favorite ever books, so you can imagine my excitement when I heard she was going to be writing a sequel! I love Miri, and I can't wait to see this older version of herself.

Coming down from the mountain to a new life in the city seems a thrill beyond imagining. When Miri and her friends from Mount Eskel set off to help the future princess Britta prepare for her royal wedding, she is happy about her chance to attend school in the capital city. There, Miri befriends students who seem so sophisticated and exciting . . . until she learns that they have some frightening plans. They think that Miri will help them, that she should help them. Soon Miri finds herself torn between loyalty to the princess and her new friends’ ideas, between an old love and a new crush, and between her small mountain home and the bustling city.

Picking up where Princess Academy left off, this incredible stand-alone story celebrates the joys of friendship, the delight of romance, and the fate of a beloved fairy tale kingdom.

I am really looking forward to this one! Doesn't it sound totally awesome?? It sounds almost ridiculously awesome. I absolutely cannot wait!

Lovelovelove,

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
