Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where bloggers like me get to gush about what makes their hands all grabby.

Darkness never dies.

Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can't outrun her past or her destiny for long.

The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling's game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her--or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.

I can't.  Wait.  For this book! Like--ughh!  I need it now!  I absolutely loved Shadow and Bone to pieces and with the ending that was given, Siege and Storm was put to the very top of my TBR list.  And this almost minimalistic cover draws me in even more.  I kind of like to think of it as The Grisha Trilogy is what you imagine it to be and it lets all my creative juices loose.  Even though I think that The Darkling is some gorgeous creature (and if you disagree, just look at Tom Hiddleston as Loki), I am Team Mal.  So, GOOO TEAM MAL!!!  Make me proud, you scruffy man.

And what are you all waiting for this fine Wednesday?
