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.
My pick for this week’s CWW was just released yesterday, but I haven’t yet visited my local bookstore (shocking, I know!😅) and I can’t wait to get my hands on this book.
Title: Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix
Series: Rise of the Empress #2
Author: Julie Dao
Publisher: Philomel Books/Penguin Random House
Publication Date: November 6, 2018
Purchase: IndieBound | Book Depository | Barnes and Noble | Amazon | Kobo | iBooks
Princess Jade has grown up in exile, hidden away in a monastery while her stepmother, the ruthless Xifeng, rules as empress of Feng Lu. But the empire is in distress and its people are sinking into poverty and despair. Even though Jade doesn’t want the crown, she knows she is the only one who can dethrone the empress and set the world right. Ready to reclaim her place as rightful heir, Jade embarks on a quest to raise the Dragon Lords and defeat Xifeng and the Serpent God once and for all. But will the same darkness that took Xifeng take Jade, too? Or will she find the strength within to save herself, her friends, and her empire?
Set in an East Asian-inspired fantasy world filled with breathtaking pain and beauty, Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix is filled with dazzling magic, powerful prose, and characters readers won’t soon forget.
It sounds amazing! If you’re looking for a Snow White re-telling, make it this one. Many of the blogger I follow have already read this and it has gotten a lot of rave review, so I’m getting this and the next time I go to the bookstore.
