Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
I'm waiting on...
Ash & Bramble
by Sarah Prineas
Expected Publication: September 15, 2015
When the glass slipper just doesn’t fit… The tale of Cinderella has been retold countless times. But what you know is not the true story.
Pin has no recollection of who she is or how she got to the Godmother’s fortress. She only knows that she is a Seamstress, working day in and out to make ball gowns fit for fairy tales. But she longs to forsake her backbreaking servitude and dares to escape with the brave young Shoemaker.
Pin isn’t free for long before she’s captured again and forced to live the new life the Godmother chooses for her—a fairy tale story, complete with a charming prince—instead of finding her own happily ever after.
Sarah Prineas’s bold fairy tale retelling is a dark and captivating world where swords are more fitting than slippers, young shoemakers are just as striking as princes, and a heroine is more than ready to rescue herself before the clock strikes midnight.
Why I am waiting on this? I love that retelling wave the book industry has going on at the moment. I've read a few already, but not as many as I'd like, and they've all been good. This one sounds just as interesting, and I hope I get a chance to read it.
Oh I am loving this cover and I love fairytale retellings. Thanks for the heads up on this one. My WoW features a favorite fictional detective and I'm excited!
I really want to read this! I hope we both enjoy it.

It does sounds really interesting and different. I've come across a few retellings, but I've read very few of them. I hope you enjoy this book when it comes out and thanks for stopping by my blog!

I cannot wait for this one either! Cinderella is not my favorite fairy tale, but it sounds just different enough to really capture my attention.
