Waiting on Wednesday 07/01/20
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 Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick (January 19, 2021 by Orbit)
Putting together my most-anticipated list the other day and going through my past Waiting on Wednesdays, I realized I hadn’t featured this one yet, which would have been a huge omission as it’s one of the books I’m most excited to check out in early 2021. It sounds intriguing, and the cover is gorgeous.
“Darkly magical and intricately imagined, The Mask of Mirrors is the unmissable start to the Rook & Rose trilogy, a rich and dazzling fantasy adventure in which a con artist, a vigilante, and a crime lord must unite to save their city.
Nightmares are creeping through the city of dreams…
Renata Viraudax is a con artist who has come to the sparkling city of Nadezra — the city of dreams — with one goal: to trick her way into a noble house and secure her fortune and her sister’s future.
But as she’s drawn into the elite world of House Traementis, she realizes her masquerade is just one of many surrounding her. And as corrupt magic begins to weave its way through Nadezra, the poisonous feuds of its aristocrats and the shadowy dangers of its impoverished underbelly become tangled — with Ren at their heart.”

Words like “con artist”, “thieves”, “heist” in fantasy books tend to catch my attention too, lol!
