WOW: Blue Fire, Janice Hardy

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, where we talk about books we are looking forward to being released.



My pick this week is The Healing Wars 2: Blue Fire by Janice Hardy




Part fugitive, part hero, fifteen-year-old Nya is barely staying ahead of the Duke of Baseer’s trackers. Wanted for a crime she didn’t mean to commit, she risks capture to protect every Taker she can find, determined to prevent the Duke from using them in his fiendish experiments. But resolve isn’t enough to protect any of them, and Nya soon realizes that the only way to keep them all out of the Duke’s clutches is to flee Geveg. Unfortunately, the Duke’s best tracker has other ideas.
Nya finds herself trapped in the last place she ever wanted to be, forced to trust the last people she ever thought she could. More is at stake than just the people of Geveg, and the closer she gets to uncovering the Duke’s plan, the more she discovers how critical she is to his victory. To save Geveg, she just might have to save Baseer—if she doesn’t destroy it first.

I have just finished the first book in this series, The Pain Merchants, and it was so good. You can read my review tomorrow. Blue Fire is already released in the US, but since I want to have the same edition as the first one in this series, I have to wait for the UK release in March

If you have not read The Pain Merchants, go ahead and do it. It is really great and very original.
