Waiting on Wednesday: Rebel Heart by Moira Young



"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's WoW selection is...



Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads
Title:  Rebel Heart
Author:  Moira Young
Series:  2nd book in the Dust Lands series
Publisher:  Margaret K. McElderry
Publication Date:  October 30, 2012

The Tonton have been defeated. Lugh has been rescued.
The heartstone has brought Saba and Jack together.
Now, Saba and her family head west to meet him and start a new life. All should be well.
But shadows of the dead are stalking Saba.
And another kind of shadow is creeping over the dustlands.
Then a messenger shows up.
With news of Jack.





Why I'm waiting:  I LOVED the gritty, captivating rescue story that was Blood Red Road.  I loved Saba's crassness, I loved Jack's unflinching honesty, and I loved the way that the story was told.  I can't wait to see what trouble our wayward wanderers run into in this next installment.  Also, I miss Jack.  And Nero -- I want a crow like that!  And I'm curious to know what's up with DeMalo.

Aside:  What do you think of the cover redesign?  I usually find myself liking the old covers better, but I like the new covers equally as well as the old ones in this case.  This way, I get Jack on the cover.  This makes me happy.  :0)

What are you waiting patiently -- or maybe not so patiently -- for this week?  Share it in the comments so I can add it to my massive TBR list!

  3. Oooh! I'm so excited for this one too!! Great pick! :) I loved Blood Red Road soo freaking much! But I'm worried about Jack... when I read the summary for Rebel Heart I almost burst into tears, I was so scared and sad about what happened to Jack. All I'm saying, is that Miss Moira better have A LOT of Jack in this book. :P As for the cover... how could I not love it, what with Jack looking so hot up there?? *fan girl scream and giggle* WOOT! That's what me thinks! Thanks for stopping by my WoW by the way hun!

  6. I still need to read the first book, but I'm almost afraid to b/c of the writing. I've heard it's almost better as an audiobook. Perhaps that's the route I'll go!! :D Thanks for sharing!!

  8. Great pick! I like the new covers, but I hate it when they change them halfway through the series :( I bought Blood Red Road with the original cover, so now I'm annoyed about the change, 'cause I want my books to match :( although I still haven't read it...

  11. Gah, I still need to read Blood Red Road! I even have a copy but haven't gotten around to it. I think I prefer the old covers more though, I would have been interested to see how they would have done it. The cover resdesign isn't that bad either though.

  17. I'm right there with you, BBS! You got me hooked on this story, and I am most appreciative. DeMalo = swoon! I'm not happy about the cover change; I really prefer the first cover, but it certainly won't keep me from tackling this sequel! Great WoW post! :D

  30. I am embarrassed to say I haven’t read Blood Red Road yet. My best ‘real life’ friend keeps telling me it is so good and while I believe her, I just haven’t gotten around to this series yet. Thanks for sharing your pick!
