Waiting on Wednesday: Illyria by Elizabeth Hand

"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 pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is: Illyria by Elizabeth Hand

Editor's Description

Madeleine and Rogan are first cousins, best friends, twinned souls, each other’s first love. Even within their large, disorderly family—all descendants of a famous actress—their intensity and passion for theater sets them apart. It makes them a little dangerous. When they are cast in their school’s production of Twelfth Night, they are forced to face their separate talents and futures, and their future together. This masterful short novel, winner of the World Fantasy Award, is magic on paper.

What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

    Is this a historical story? BC otherwise the cousin thing is a bit weird. But the story itself sounds cool and the cover is gorg. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
