"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Publish Date: March 13, 2012
Publisher's Description
Christine, the princess and heir to the real world of Chrysanthe, is kidnapped as a small child by a powerful magician and exiled in a Made World that is a version of our present reality. In exile, supervised by her strict "uncle"(actually a wizard in disguise), she undergoes bogus memory recovery therapy, through which she is forced to remember childhood rape and abuse by her parents and others. She is terribly stunted emotionally by this terrifying plot, but at seventeen discovers it is all a lie. Christine escapes with a rescuer, Sir Quentin, a knight from Chrysanthe, in a thrilling chase across realities.
Once home, the magical standoff caused by her exile is broken, and a war begins, in spite of the best efforts of her father, the king, and his wizard, Melogian. And that war, which takes up nearly the last third of the work, is a marvel of magical invention and terror, a battle between good and evil forces that resounds with echoes of the great battles of fantasy literature.
* A princess, an adventure, magic, a knight, and a battle...yes! - Jessica

Wow, sounds like a great read . . . a little dark, but very exciting.

Hmm, I'm kind of on the fence about this one. Sounds kind of YA-ish, but also seems to have a rather dark edge. Then again, any book with an epic war is worth checking out.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW for this week.
Oh I love the synopsis, adding this book to my wishlist! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds liek a really messed up version of Narnia crossed with the Wizard of Oz films... O.O

Remembering childhood rape and abuse by her parents and others is a little off putting to me. It would depend on how detailed this book is on those parts, but I'm not sure I could read that one.
