AAAH. I had the opportunity to read an ARC of this book last year and IT WAS EVERYTHING I NEVER EXPECTED. IT WAS LIFE. IT KILLED ME. And the cliffhanger. OH GOD. I am BEYOND excited for the next installment in the Red Queen Series and I CAN'T WAIT to see what dark horrors and heart wrenching plot twists this new book brings.
Blurb Description: In this breathless third installment to Victoria Aveyard’s bestselling Red Queen series, allegiances are tested on every side. And when the Lightning Girl's spark is gone, who will light the way for the rebellion?
Mare Barrow is a prisoner, powerless without her lightning, tormented by her lethal mistakes. She lives at the mercy of a boy she once loved, a boy made of lies and betrayal. Now a king, Maven Calore continues weaving his dead mother's web in an attempt to maintain control over his country—and his prisoner.
As Mare bears the weight of Silent Stone in the palace, her once-ragtag band of newbloods and Reds continue organizing, training, and expanding. They prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows. And Cal, the exiled prince with his own claim on Mare's heart, will stop at nothing to bring her back.
When blood turns on blood, and ability on ability, there may be no one left to put out the fire—leaving Norta as Mare knows it to burn all the way down.
This book is currently on it's way to me AND I AM SO EXCITED! After falling heard over heels for #Illuminae and #Gemina last year, YA Books set in SPACE have become my new thing. Empress Of A Thousand Skies sounds like the perfect, ruthless read with the MOST BEAUTIFUL COVER. *dies*

The minute I read this book description, it reminded me of one of my favourite fantasy series', The Malediction Trilogy and I KNEW I NEEDED TO HAVE IT IN MY LIFE. A Goblin King that turns out to be more that what meets the eye, all wrapped around in a tale of family and music? SIGN ME UP THANKS.
Blurb Description: Beware the goblin men and the wares they sell.
All her life, nineteen-year-old Liesl has heard tales of the beautiful, mysterious Goblin King. He is the Lord of Mischief, the Ruler Underground, and the muse around which her music is composed. Yet, as Liesl helps shoulder the burden of running her family’s inn, her dreams of composition and childish fancies about the Goblin King must be set aside in favor of more practical concerns.
But when her sister Käthe is taken by the goblins, Liesl journeys to their realm to rescue her sister and return her to the world above. The Goblin King agrees to let Käthe go—for a price. The life of a maiden must be given to the land, in accordance with the old laws. A life for a life, he says. Without sacrifice, nothing good can grow. Without death, there can be no rebirth. In exchange for her sister’s freedom, Liesl offers her hand in marriage to the Goblin King. He accepts.
Down in the Underground, Liesl discovers that the Goblin King still inspires her—musically, physically, emotionally. Yet even as her talent blossoms, Liesl’s life is slowly fading away, the price she paid for becoming the Goblin King’s bride. As the two of them grow closer, they must learn just what it is they are each willing to sacrifice: her life, her music, or the end of the world.
