It's been a while since I've posted one of these, eh? Well, since Their Fractured Light is already out, I only have one more December book that I'm excitedly waiting for and that would be *Drum Roll* Frozen Tides by Morgan Rhodes, the fourth book in the Falling Kingdoms series.
Even though I hate Lucia, the girl on the cover, I really love a lot of the other characters and am intrigued about the direction the plot is going. Here's the synopsis for the first book, Falling Kingdoms:
In the three kingdoms of Mytica, magic has long been forgotten. And while hard-won peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest now simmers below the surface.
As the rulers of each kingdom grapple for power, the lives of their subjects are brutally transformed... and four key players, royals and rebels alike, find their fates forever intertwined. Cleo, Jonas, Lucia, and Magnus are caught in a dizzying world of treacherous betrayals, shocking murders, secret alliances, and even unforeseen love.
The only outcome that's certain is that kingdoms will fall. Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed?
It's the eve of war.... Choose your side.
Princess: Raised in pampered luxury, Cleo must now embark on a rough and treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of magic long thought extinct.
Rebel: Jonas, enraged at injustice, lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country cruelly impoverished. To his shock, he finds himself the leader of a people's revolution centuries in the making.
Sorceress: Lucia, adopted at birth into the royal family, discovers the truth about her past—and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.
Heir: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, firstborn son Magnus begins to realise that the heart can be more lethal than the sword....
Sound interesting? You should pick it up. I wasn't overly fond of the first book, but as I read more, I got more and more sucked into the world and characters. Here's my review of the first three books:

I'm ecstatic to read this book. I believe it's going to be a lot of fun and it comes out right before my Christmas Break so I'll have plenty of time to enjoy it :). I'm sure I'll be writing a glowing review about this book soon enough.
