Waiting on Wednesday #39: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

I loved Leigh Bardugo's The Gisha series. Well, the first book at least (review here) because that's about how far I've gotten. I've had the second book lying on a shelf for a year and a half and I just haven't gotten to it yet. You know how it is, there's also something new popping up pushing it down on the TBR.

But seriously, with Bardugo's unchallenged ability to create new and awe-inspiring worlds, a mix of Game of Thrones and Ocean's Eleven,how can Six of Crows possibly go wrong?

The Dregs #1

by Leigh Bardugo

is released on September 29th, 2015

Game of Thrones meets Ocean's Eleven in this brand-new book in the world of the Grisha by New York Times-bestselling author Leigh Bardugo.

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone...

A convict with a thirst for revenge.

A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager.

A runaway with a privileged past.

A spy known as the Wraith.

A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.

A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.

Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don't kill each other first.
