Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted Tressa at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted Jill at Breaking the Spine.
There are a ton a books coming out in the last 2 1/2 months left in this year, but today my pick will be from the forthcoming 2019 releases. This one is one of my most anticipated books next year.

Pre-order: IndieBound | Book Depository | Barnes and Noble | Amazon | Kobo | iBooks
Paris, 1889: The world is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets. In this city, no one keeps tabs on secrets better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier, Séverin Montagnet-Alarie. But when the all-powerful society, the Order of Babel, seeks him out for help, Séverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance.
To find the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin will need help from a band of experts: An engineer with a debt to pay. A historian who can’t yet go home. A dancer with a sinister past. And a brother in all but blood, who might care too much.
Together, they’ll have to use their wits and knowledge to hunt the artifact through the dark and glittering heart of Paris. What they find might change the world, but only if they can stay alive.
I haven’t read much of Roshani Chokhi’s work, though I have a copy of Star-Touched Queen all but waiting for me to crack it open. But I loved her short story Forbidden Fruit, a story about Maria Makiling, from the A Thousand Beginnings and Endings anthology, and this book’s premise just sounds so ultra delicious that I pre-ordered it already (my bank account screaming “NO” the whole time, but what bookworm listens to it.)

I adore the cover for this one! And I don’t remember the last time I’ve read a historical fantasy set in France, so that’s super exciting. 😀

Yes, that too. I haven’t read a historical fantasy set in France for so long. I think the last I read was Robin LaFevers His Fair Assassin trilogy, which isn’t even exactly set in France (though it’s mentioned a lot); it was set in Britanny when it was still an independent country.

I can’t wait for this one! I love everything about how it sounds, including that beautiful cover! I started seeing stuff about this book months ago so I was shocked to find it’s not even out until next year :O Great pick!

Yes!!! That cover is just gorgeous! I have it pre-ordered but I’m still trying to get a hold of the book’s ARC so I could put out an early review, help out with the hype because I think this book deserves it. (And Roshani’s writing is just beautiful.)
