(Warning, this is a sequel. Spoilers abound!)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we feature any book(s) that we are eagerly waiting to read. 

I am late posting this seeing as today is decidedly not Wednesday, but I was in a funk yesterday, and I can't just not post it.

Here is the book I am waiting for, if you can call what I'm doing waiting... *pets cover through computer screen*

Is this not the prettiest thing you ever did see? My cover lovin' heart is weeping.

Summary (From Goodreads):

After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.

Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice.

Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?

 I. Cannot. Wait. *fist pump*  AND, for some reason, I thought this book came out in OCTOBER. It does not. IT COMES OUT AUGUST 27th!!! Only 7 weeks 5 days, or 54 days, or 1296 hours, or 7776 minutes, or 46656 seconds. Somehow that makes it seem smaller, so I'm just going to count to 46656 now, see you on publishing day. *waves* *goes to counting cave*

What are you waiting on?
