Waiting On Wednesday: Scent of Magic by Maria V. Snyder

Waiting On Wednesday

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking The Spine. The point is to spotlight one upcoming release that we're eagerly anticipating...

I read Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder in spring of 2012 and enjoyed it very much. As the release date for the sequel approached, I was squirming in my seat, eagerly waiting to find out what would happen next to Avry and Kerrick.

So this Wednesday I am waiting on a scent of magic. :)

Book Cover: Scent of Magic by Maria V. Snyder

Scent of Magic (Healer #2) by Maria V. Snyder
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
Publication Date: December 18, 2012
Goodreads

Summary:

Hunted, Killed—Survived?

As the last Healer in the Fifteen Realms, Avry of Kazan is in a unique position: in the minds of her friends and foes alike, she no longer exists. Despite her need to prevent the megalomanical King Tohon from winning control of the Realms, Avry is also determined to find her sister and repair their estrangement. And she must do it alone, as Kerrick, her partner and sole confident, returns to Alga to summon his country into battle.

Though she should be in hiding, Avry will do whatever she can to support Tohon's opponents. Including infiltrating a holy army, evading magic sniffers, teaching forest skills to soldiers and figuring out how to stop Tohon's most horrible creations yet; an army of the walking dead—human and animal alike and nearly impossible to defeat.

War is coming and Avry is alone. Unless she figures out how to do the impossible ... again.

Why Am I Waiting On Scent of Magic by Maria V. Snyder?

  1. I read Touch of Power in spring 2012 and loved it.
  2. As the sequel's release date got closer, I couldn't stop wondering what would happen next to Avry and Kerrick.

So, those are my reasons why I am waiting on Scent of Magic. What are yours? Did you read Touch of Power? Are you also waiting for this one — or did you get an ARC?
