Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking The
Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we can't wait to get our hands
on!
This week's WoW is Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor.
Goodreads Synopsis:
By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her, if there can even be a future for the chimaera in war-ravaged Eretz.
Common enemy, common cause.
When Jael's brutal seraph army trespasses into the human world, the unthinkable becomes essential, and Karou and Akiva must ally their enemy armies against the threat. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people.
And, perhaps, for themselves. Toward a new way of living, and maybe even love.
But there are bigger threats than Jael in the offing. A vicious queen is hunting Akiva, and, in the skies of Eretz ... something is happening. Massive stains are spreading like bruises from horizon to horizon; the great winged stormhunters are gathering as if summoned, ceaselessly circling, and a deep sense of wrong pervades the world.
What power can bruise the sky?
From the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond, humans, chimaera and seraphim will fight, strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.
At the very barriers of space and time, what do gods and monsters dream of?
And does anything else matter?
My Thoughts:
Loving the cover. Creepy, sinister, and it kind of reminds me of the Shadow and Bone series with the antlers and whatnot. Can't wait to delve back into this series! It's been far too long.

This is a series I desperately have to read. I keep meaning to start it... and then I don't. Perhaps it's time to move it up on my priority list, haha.

I am equal parts excited and terrified for this one. The story is so heartbreaking and I worry she won't make it better! What if things stay the way they are?? Thanks for stopping by. I can't wait to see everyone's reactions to this one! ~Megan

Oh, the cover DOES remind me of Shadow and Bone! I never thought of that before. I can't wait for this one either. Laini Taylor is such a talented writer! Thanks for stopping by my WoW. :)
