Here's what I'm waiting on this week:
The Cadet of Tildor
Release Date: January 10th 2013Author: Alex Lidell
Tamora Pierce meets George R. R. Martin in this smart, political, medieval fantasy-thriller.There is a new king on the throne of Tildor. Currents of political unrest sweep the country as two warring crime families seek power, angling to exploit the young Crown's inexperience. At the Academy of Tildor, the training ground for elite soldiers, Cadet Renee de Winter struggles to keep up with her male peers. But when her mentor, a notorious commander recalled from active duty to teach at the Academy, is kidnapped to fight in illegal gladiator games, Renee and her best friend Alec find themselves thrust into a world rife with crime, sorting through a maze of political intrigue, and struggling to resolve what they want, what is legal, and what is right.
What can I say? I'm a sucker for medieval fantasies. Considering that most of the ones I've read have featured male protagonists, I'm doubly excited to read one featuring a female lead. I'm especially intrigued by how the 'thriller' feel will mesh with medieval fantasy aspect, I'm thinking if it's done well it could be explosive!
What are you waiting on this week?

ReplyDeleteI think that's what's most appealing to me about this one as well! Thanks for visiting hun :D
DeleteI am totally excited to read this book. I have it from NetGalley and am going to be reading it very soon. I don't read a lot of books like this, but this one for some reason just really got my attention. Have you seen the book trailer? It's awesome!!
ReplyDeleteOh you're lucky to have gotten it from Netgalley! I'll be looking forward to your review! And I'm off to check out the book trailer NOW, I had no idea :D Thanks Love!!!
DeleteAhhh, I wasn't super excited for this one until today.
ReplyDeleteConfession: the only reason I wasn't really excited was the cover, which I loathe.
However, one of my friends is reading this and she said it's really, really good so far and not to judge it off the cover, so now I WANTS.
haha I know what you mean, it isn't the prettiest cover out there >.< I hope both of us will love it! Thanks for stopping by Christina!!
DeleteIt's been a long time since I've read anything along the line of this, but I'm also intrigued with the idea of a female protagonist trying to keep up with & prove herself to her male peers! I'm adding it to my list :) I hope you'll enjoy it when it comes along! I think I've even seen it on NetGalley...
