Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that allows bloggers to share which books we are most anticipating.
This week I am
waiting on The Ship Beyond Time by
Heidi Heilig (3/28/17):
Description from
Goodreads:
Nix has spent her whole life journeying to places both real
and imagined aboard her time-traveling father’s ship. And now it’s finally time
for her to take the helm. Her father has given up his obsession to save her
mother—and possibly erase Nix’s existence—and Nix’s future lies bright before
her. Until she learns that she is destined to lose the one she loves. But her
relationship with Kash—best friend, thief, charmer extraordinaire—is only just
beginning. How can she bear to lose him? How can she bear to become as adrift
and alone as her father?
Desperate to change her fate, Nix takes her crew to a
mythical utopia to meet another Navigator who promises to teach her how to
manipulate time. But everything in this utopia is constantly changing, and
nothing is what it seems—not even her relationship with Kash. Nix must grapple
with whether anyone can escape her destiny, her history, her choices. Heidi
Heilig weaves fantasy, history, and romance together to tackle questions of
free will, fate, and what it means to love another person. But at the center of
this adventure are the extraordinary, multifaceted, and multicultural
characters that leap off the page, and an intricate, recognizable world that has
no bounds. The sequel—and conclusion—to the indie darling The Girl from
Everywhere will be devoured by fans of Rachel Hartman and Maggie
Stiefvater.
Why I’m Waiting:
Well, this sounds awesome. I loved the first book. I only
learned of the first book because I heard the author speak at a “We Need
Diverse Books” panel at a library conference. She made her book sound so
magical and amazing, I quickly requested a copy of it. And I was not
disappointed. I love that it seems like this one will focus a little more on
Nix’s relationship with Kash. And I love the idea of them meeting other
travelers. The only problem is March is so far away!
What are you waiting on this week?
I still need to read the first book but I had no clue about the sequel! Awesome! I hope this delivers for you my friend ♥
