Hi everyone, thank-you so much for stopping by my
WoW!
Waiting On Wednesday is
a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the
Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly
anticipating.
My choice for this weeks WoW is The Lost Sun by Tessa Gratton, I am a
BIG fan of Norse mythology and this book sounds wonderful! So I am definitely
anxious to read it.
Author: Tessa Gratton
Series: The United States of Asgard
Pages: Genre: Young Adult
Publisher: Random House
Amazon Pre-order: The Lost Sun
Release Date: 25th June 2013
Synopsis: (Goodreads)
Fans of
Neil Gaiman's American
Gods and Holly Black's The
Curse Workers will embrace this richly drawn,
Norse-mythology-infused alternate world: the United States of Asgard.
Seventeen-year-old Soren Bearskin is trying to escape the past. His father, a famed warrior, lost himself to the battle-frenzy and killed thirteen innocent people. Soren cannot deny that berserking is in his blood--the fevers, insomnia, and occasional feelings of uncontrollable rage haunt him. So he tries to remain calm and detached from everyone at Sanctus Sigurd's Academy. But that's hard to do when a popular, beautiful girl like Astrid Glyn tells Soren she dreams of him. That's not all Astrid dreams of--the daughter of a renowned prophetess, Astrid is coming into her own inherited abilities.
When Baldur, son of Odin and one of the most popular gods in the country, goes missing, Astrid sees where he is and convinces Soren to join her on a road trip that will take them to find not only a lost god, but also who they are beyond the legacy of their parents and everything they've been told they have to be.

Love the sound of this one and especially the beautiful blue of the cover. I think Norse mythology has a lot to offer and I'm excited to see more authors plumbing its depths.
