Waiting on Wednesday: Firewalker

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine and is a fun way to see what books other bloggers just can't wait to get their hands on!


The Worldwalker Trilogy #2
Josephine Angelini
Young Adult/Fantasy
Releases September 1st from Feiwel & Friends

From Goodreads:

Lily is back in her own universe, and she's ready to start a new life with Rowan by her side. True, she almost died in the Pyre that fueled their escape from New Salem, and must hide her magic for the safety of everyone she cares about, but compared to fighting the Woven, the monstrous creatures inhabiting the alternate Salem, life is looking pretty good.

Unfortunately, Lillian, ruthless ruler of the 13 Cities, is not willing to let Lily go that easily. If she can’t persuade Lily to return to her world, she will force her to come back by doing away with the ones she loves.

Picking up right where Trial By Fire left off, Firewalker is another sexy, fast-paced, heartbreaking thrill ride from internationally bestselling author Josephine Angelini!

I absolutely adored last year's Trial by Fire, so I'm very, very ready to get my grabby little hands on this second installment. I had a few concerns when reading the first book that we'd get an epic love triangle situation between Lily, Rowan, and Tristan (either version of him), but I was pleasantly surprised by the way Lily handled everything. I have high hopes that she'll be as firm in her feelings in this book as she was in the first now that she's back in her world and will likely come face to face with the version of Tristan she'd loved for years before everything changed. SO MUCH TENSION! Rowan is the guy for me though–wait, no, the guy for Lily, not me ;-)–so I'm excited to see how things progress there.

Plus, Lillian is the most terrifying type of villain–the kind who's so convinced they're doing what's right they can't see how far down the road to Hell their path of good intentions has led them–and I look forward to peeling back more of her layers!

  1. I can't wait to read this! I loved Trial By Fire and thought that Lily was a wonderful herione. She stood by her convictions. I like the new cover design, but it doesn't match the original. Nitpicky, I know. Great pick!

  12. I really really need to read Trial by Fire! I even checked it out of the library and everything but just didn't get around to reading it and ended up returning it :( But soon (hopefully) I will remedy that so that I can join in the excitement for Firewalker :) Great pick!

  14. Amazing pick Jenny, that cover is incredible ♥ I still need to get to my copy of Trial by Fire but seeing how everyone seems to have loved it AND that the sequel is approaching, I know I need to get to it asap! I'm glad that the first book handled the possibly epic love-triangle in a surprising and pleasant way :) I hope you can get your hands on this one asap! Here's my WoW pick this week!

  15. The colors really catch my eye. Oh darn! Now I need to read the first book. You know you just added TWO to my wishlist. LOL

  16. I just looked this one up yesterday to see when it was releasing. Lol, great minds, Jenny. I'm definitely Team Rowan and really hope there is no love triangle. Earth Tristan doesn't deserve her.

  17. I'm really liking these new cover updates! I love your enthusiasm for this book Jenny, I wish I had enjoyed the first book as you did, as I was firmly behind Rowan's character too, I hope this book lives up to your expectations! :)

  18. Holy crap what a gorgeous cover! Love the new covers for this series and I'm not usually a fan of cover changes!

  21. That cover is a piece of artwork! I haven't heard of these books, so I need to catch up.

  22. Have you read Lillian's letters on the series website? She's certainly terrifying in her convictions. She sounds so sincere there! I agree, she's a fascinating heroine, especially because she's another version of Lily. I'm with you in being desperate for this one! I also love the new covers, though I wish they did this the first time instead of changing them mid-way. Seems they often do a more traditional YA look with a heroine and then decide to marked differently and change them? Maybe, away, great pick!
