Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon.
OK, I will admit, I did have a few issues with Hope and Red. But when it comes down to it, it was a fun read, and I do look forward to finding out what happens next!
Bane and Shadow (Empire of Storms, #2) by Jon Skovron
Also by this author: Hope and Red
Published by Orbit on February 9th 2017
Pages: 416
A killer adventure fantasy follow-up to HOPE AND RED, set in a fracturing empire spread across savage seas, where two young people from different cultures find common purpose.
Red is being trained as a cold-blooded assassin by the biomancers. As he becomes increasingly embroiled in palace politics, he learns that even life among the nobility can be deadly.
While terrorizing imperial ships as the pirate Dire Bane, Hope stumbles onto a biomancer plot of such horrifying scope that it makes even the massacre of her childhood village seem small in comparison.
With the biomancers tightening their grip of fear over the empire, Hope and Red struggle to fill their new roles and responsibilities, but the cost will be greater than any of them realize.
I hope I can read Hope and Red during December “catch up.” And I just love these covers!

Yes, I can’t wait for this one! I know the first book could have been a bit better for you, but hopefully this one will do the trick! 🙂
