Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and it is a way to show off the books you can't wait to be released!!
This week I chose:
"Of Beast and Beauty"
by Stacey Jay
Delacorte
Release Date: July 23, 2013
The following description is from goodreads.com:Sounds like a new take on this fairy tale! And, there's not long to wait!
In the beginning was the darkness, and in the darkness was a girl, and in the girl was a secret...
In the domed city of Yuan, the blind Princess Isra, a Smooth Skin, is raised to be a human sacrifice whose death will ensure her city’s vitality. In the desert outside Yuan, Gem, a mutant beast, fights to save his people, the Monstrous, from starvation. Neither dreams that together, they could return balance to both their worlds.
Isra wants to help the city’s Banished people, second-class citizens despised for possessing Monstrous traits. But after she enlists the aid of her prisoner, Gem, who has been captured while trying to steal Yuan’s enchanted roses, she begins to care for him, and to question everything she has been brought up to believe.
As secrets are revealed and Isra’s sight, which vanished during her childhood, returned, Isra will have to choose between duty to her people and the beast she has come to love.
What are you waiting for this week???

ReplyDeleteIn my experience, Stacey Jay never fails to disappoint. Beauty and the Beast isn't my favorite fairy tale, but I definitely want to see what Stacey does with it.
