Title: Six of Crows

Author: Leigh Bardugo

Series: The Dregs #1

Release date: September 29, 2015

Summary: Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price--and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone...

A convict with a thirst for revenge. 

A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager. 

A runaway with a privileged past. 

A spy known as the Wraith. 

A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. 

A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. 

Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction--if they don't kill each other first. 

Thoughts: MORE GRISHA WORLD. I've been dying for this book ever since it got announced. It was actually one of my very first Waiting on Wednesday posts, but back then, it didn't even have a cover or a proper name. So I thought I should feature it one more time, now with complete information. There have been hints that we may get to see Nikolai in this series eventually as well, and you know how much love I have for Nikolai. But anything by Leigh Bardugo, especially in the Grisha world, I will devour. I cannot wait for this book, and I'm beyond jealous of everyone who got ARCs at BEA!

Waiting on Wednesday (4): THE DREGS

WoW is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine

Title: The Dregs (Dregs #1)

Author: Leigh Bardugo

Release date: ??/2015

Goodreads blurb: The project, describe as a blend of Ocean's 11 and Game of Thrones, is set in Kerch, a small island nation in the "Grishaverse" with tremendous economic power, the hub of all international trade and a country rich in art and culture...but also home to one of the most dangerous criminal underworlds. A crew of dangerous felonious misfits face impossible odds when they are pulled together to break into one of the most guarded places in the world. 

Thoughts: I read the first two books in Leigh Bardugo's Grisha trilogy last summer (Shadow & Bone and Siege & Storm), and couldn't get enough of them. So when Ruin & Rising, the third book, came out this June, I ran to Barnes & Noble on release day to get the special edition with the bonus short story. I ADORE that series and miss it already. So when she announced that she was writing TWO new books set in the same universe, AND hinted that we might see certain Grisha trilogy characters again? (*Cough, cough* NIKOLAI *cough, cough*) I was totally sold. I love Leigh's writing, and I absolutely cannot wait to return to this world again. So I need a cover and a release date PRONTO!!
