There are so many books coming out this spring that I’m excited for – particularly this April. I don’t know what it is about this quarter, but there’s several novels that I’m interested in.
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa @ Wishful Endings (and was previously hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine where it was known as Waiting on Wednesday) to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. They’re usually books that have not yet been released.
This week’s book is:
To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang! 🏯💛
To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang

GENRES: Fantasy, Fiction
PUBLISHER: Del Rey Books
RELEASE DATE: 16 April 2024
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Heroes die, cowards live. Daughter of a conquered world, Ruying hates the invaders who descended from the heavens long before she was born and defeated the magic of her people with technologies unlike anything her world had ever seen.
Blessed by Death, born with the ability to pull the life right out of mortal bodies, Ruying shouldn’t have to fear these foreign invaders, but she does. Especially because she wants to keep herself and her family safe.
When Ruying’s Gift is discovered by an enemy prince, he offers her an impossible deal: If she becomes his private assassin and eliminates his political rivals—whose deaths he swears would be for the good of both their worlds and would protect her people from further brutalization—her family will never starve or suffer harm again. But to accept this bargain, she must use the powers she has always feared, powers that will shave years off her own existence.
Can Ruying trust this prince, whose promises of a better world make her heart ache and whose smiles make her pulse beat faster? Are the evils of this agreement really in the service of a much greater good? Or will she betray her entire nation by protecting those she loves the most?
Are you looking forward to this book? What books are coming out that you’re looking forward to?
Thank you so much for reading and have an excellent day/night!
See ya ~Mar
