Kingsbane by Claire Legrand

When is it released: May 21st

What is it about?: Rielle Dardenne has been anointed Sun Queen, but her trials are far from over. The Gate keeping the angels at bay is falling. To repair it, Rielle must collect the seven hidden castings of the saints. Meanwhile, to help her prince and love Audric protect Celdaria, Rielle must spy on the angel Corien—but his promises of freedom and power may prove too tempting to resist.

Centuries later, Eliana Ferracora grapples with her new reality: She is the Sun Queen, humanity’s long-awaited savior. But fear of corruption—fear of becoming another Rielle—keeps Eliana’s power dangerous and unpredictable. Hunted by all, racing against time to save her dying friend Navi, Eliana must decide how to wear a crown she never wanted—by embracing her mother’s power, or rejecting it forever.

Why am  I waiting for it: Last year, I really enjoyed Furyborn and spent a good few months recommending it to every bookish friend I could. It was a well-written and pretty unique YA book, with a dose of the kind of writing style you’d find in a Sarah J. Maas book. It was a lot of fun to read, even if the book was a behemoth. Some of my enthusiasm has waned since I finished book one, but I am excited to see where book two will take us, and what twists it will have.
