Waiting on Wednesday (6/4/2014)
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. It’s hosted by Breaking the Spine.

To all the Throne of Glass fans out there, waiting for Heir of Fire is like trying to avoid a giant bar of chocolate sitting on the table. It’s nearly impossible I tell you!
