Jill @ Breaking the Spine!!
It showcases future releases which
we book bloggers
are eagerly anticipating!!
Here's my choice for this week!
The Shadowmagic Trilogy
Trade Paperback, 864 pages
The Friday Project
September 2, 2014
Fantasy, Young Adult Fiction
Book Synopsis
A Lord of the Rings for the 21st century. Only a lot shorter. And funnier. And completely different.
The complete Shadowmagic trilogy. Including Shadowmagic, Prince of Hazel and Oak and Sons of Macha.

Shadowmagic
is a fantasy adventure for young adults (although grown ups will like
it too). Written by one of the most popular magicians in the UK, it
brings a fresh approach to the genre and will have a broad appeal beyond
the fantasy sections.
Why am I waiting on this one?
That first phrase in the synopsis
is what really did it for me:
"A Lord of the Rings for the 21st century."
Exactly.
Since Tolkien is one of my top
literary idols, any book that even remotely
resembles his work will definitely
capture my attention!
I also find this cover extremely appealing!
What do you think
of my choice?
What awesome book(s) are you
waiting on this week?
Great pick - I hope you'll enjoy it :)
