"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Title: Pegasus Author: Robin McKinley
Publication Date: November 2, 2010 by Putnam
Because of a thousand-year-old alliance between humans and pegasi, Princess Sylviianel is ceremonially bound to Ebon, her own pegasus, on her twelfth birthday. The two species coexist peacefully, despite the language barriers separating them. Humans and pegasi both rely on specially-trained Speaker magicians as the only means of real communication. But it’s different for Sylvi and Ebon. They can understand each other. They quickly grow close—so close that their bond becomes a threat to the status quo—and possibly to the future safety of their two nations.
This one just sounds great. I love the idea of humans bound to a pegasi. I've also never read anything by Robin McKinley.
I'm waiting for this one as well. It sounds so lovely. I read Beauty by Robin McKinley and it was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm also looking forward to Pegasus! And if you haven't read anything by Robin McKinley, you should totally read Beauty when you have a chance. It's a lovely retelling of Beauty & the Beast.
ReplyDeleteThis looks good!
ReplyDeleteI'm anxiously awaiting this one as well! :) I'm on an arc tour for it and I should be getting my copy soon. :) Great pick this week <3
