Waiting on Wednesday (January 31st)

   

This year there are so many books being released and, while I'm trying to be selective about my purchases, I'm excited to pick up so many of them. This week I'm featuring a book by one of my auto-buy authors and one of my favorite authors of all time. Tamora Pierce!

Expected Release: February 6th

Arram Draper is a boy on the path to becoming one of the realm’s most powerful mages. The youngest student in his class at the Imperial University of Carthak, he has a Gift with unlimited potential for greatness–and for attracting danger. At his side are his two best friends: Varice, a clever girl with an often-overlooked talent, and Ozorne, the “leftover prince” with secret ambitions. Together, these three friends forge a bond that will one day shape kingdoms. And as Ozorne gets closer to the throne and Varice gets closer to Arram’s heart, Arram begins to realize that one day soon he will have to decide where his loyalties truly lie.

In the Numair Chronicles, readers will be rewarded with the never-before-told story of how Numair Salmalín came to Tortall. Newcomers will discover an unforgettable fantasy adventure where a kingdom’s future rests on the shoulders of a talented young man with a knack for making vicious enemies.

While I'm really excited for a new Tamora Pierce title, I'm nervous about how this story will play out. In some ways we already know what happens at the end of this series. I hope it is still exciting and interesting. Maybe I'm just partial to Alanna and want to follow her even more. Or give me another Tris book. I'm not 100% sure about this Arram Draper book. Let me know what you think about this upcoming Pierce Series? What books of her's are your favorites?
