Reign of Shadows | Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine where we discuss the upcoming releases that we are most excited for. 

Title: Reign of Shadows
Author: Sophie Jordan
Published: February 9th 2016 by Harper Teen

Goodreads summary: Seventeen years ago, an eclipse cloaked the kingdom of Relhok in perpetual darkness. In the chaos, an evil chancellor murdered the king and queen and seized their throne. Luna, Relhok's lost princess, has been hiding in a tower ever since. Luna's survival depends on the world believing she is dead.

But that doesn't stop Luna from wanting more. When she meets Fowler, a mysterious archer braving the woods outside her tower, Luna is drawn to him despite the risk. When the tower is attacked, Luna and Fowler escape together. But this world of darkness is more treacherous than Luna ever realized.

With every threat stacked against them, Luna and Fowler find solace in each other. But with secrets still unspoken between them, falling in love might be their most dangerous journey yet. 

With lush writing and a star-crossed romance, Reign of Shadows is Sophie Jordan at her best.

MY THOUGHTS

I've read an other book by this author, but I was disappointed. However, this one totally appealed to me. First of, the cover is GORGEOUS, I can't help but dream about having it on my bookshelves. Second, this is an high fantasy... And that's my favourite genre. Third, it feels like a Rapunzel retelling. I love Rapunzel. I just want this. I'm confident that Sophie Jordan won't let me down with this book, even though I didn't like Uninvited (I think it was the name? Not sure).

What do you think about this book? I feel like we have a lot of fairy tales type of books coming next year and I'm so happy about it. Do you like this genre? Which book did you choose for you WOW?
