This week’s Waiting on Wednesday is all about Cassandra Clare’s finale novel in the Dark Artifices trilogy, Queen of Air and Darkness. Cassie is known for some heartbreaking and emotional endings so I’m really excited for this book to *finally* hit my shelves this winter.

Why I’m Waiting:

I can’t even focus on writing why I’m waiting for this book right now because I just found out how many pages this novel has by doing this post and my.god. This book is SO CRAZY LONG. That’s a lot of pages for a lot of very, very bad things to happen. Lord of Shadows left us with a lot of cliffhangers and a lot more heartbreak and even though I’m seriously excited to read this book, I’m also nervous as hell to see what Cassie does to us. Ever since she broke my heart with Max Lightwood’s death the first time I read City of Glass in 2010, I haven’t trusted her. (Just kidding, Cassie, you know I adore you!) I have a feeling that this book is going to tug at all of my emotions, the good and the bad. I AM excited that its coming much earlier than expected – it was originally scheduled for 2019 and the first Last Hours novel was releasing this year but I’m super stoked about the switch for sure. I may have to take a day off work just for this book alone…
