Waiting on Wednesday 07/25/18
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

The Triumphant by Lesley Livingston (February 12, 2019 by Razorbill)
This epic finale of The Valiant, Lesley Livingston’s YA swords and sandals trilogy, is set to drop next February. Earlier in the week, the cover was revealed and WOW I think this might be my favorite of the three! Can’t wait to read it.
“The final book in the Valiant series takes Fallon and her warrior sisters on an epic journey from the corrupt Roman Republic to the wonder of the ancient world: Alexandria, Egypt.
In the wake of their victorious fight to win back the Ludus Achillea, Fallon and her gladiatrix sisters have become the toast of the Republic. However, as a consequence of his actions during the Ludus uprising, Fallon’s love, Cai, has been stripped of his Decurion rank and cast down to serve as one of Caesar’s gladiators.
Amid fighting for Cai’s freedom, Fallon soon learns that Caesar’s enemies are plotting against him and planning to get revenge on his fearsome gladiatrices. When Caesar is murdered by these conspirators, Fallon and the girls lose any sort of protection they once had. Fallon also realizes that the foreign queen Cleopatra is now in grave danger.
Fallon rallies her war band and Cai’s friends to get Cleopatra out of the city, and the group heads to the safety of Cleo’s homeland, Alexandria, Egypt. Once there, the gladiatrices are promised a place of honor in the queen’s elite guard, but is that what any of them really want?”

Huh, I don’t think I’ve heard of this series before, but the settings (like, Egypt? yay!) sound very much up my alley. I’m excited for you! 😀

It’s Ancient Rome and gladiators, but yes, I think the setting bounces around the empire quite a bit. This one has Egypt, yaaaaaaaay!
