Waiting on Wednesday (30)

Burning Kingdoms

Author: Lauren DeStefano

The Internment Chronicles #2

Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

Expected: March 10th, 2015

Description from GoodReads:

   After escaping Internment, Morgan and her fellow fugitives land on the ground to finally learn about the world beneath their floating island home.

   The ground is a strange place where water falls from the sky as snow, and people watch moving pictures and visit speakeasies. A place where families can have as many children as they want, their dead are buried in vast gardens of bodies, and Internment is the feature of an amusement park.

   It is also a land at war.

  Everyone who fled Internment had their own reasons to escape their corrupt haven, but now they’re caught under the watchful eye of another king who wants to dominate his world. They may have made it to the ground, but have they dragged Internment with them?

Why I Want It:

   DeStefano writes some of the weirdest and unique stories I've ever read. If you've read her Chemical Garden Trilogy then you'd know what I mean. 

Why You Should Want It:

   DeStefano's books are as I said, some of the weirdest and most unique books I've ever read. It's hard to explain but you definitely have to give them a try!

   That's my Waiting on Wednesday for this week! What are you waiting on? Will you be picking up Burning Kingdoms when it comes out? Let me know in the comments!
