I'm back!  It's been 4 months since my last WoW post.  Four months!  I'm not entirely sure how regularly I will be able to do these, but for now I hope to participate often again.  I'm still trying to get back into my personal blogging rhythm, so to speak, so things are still fairly sporadic around here.  Hopefully that will change soon.

This week, the book I am most desperately waiting on is Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers, coming April 2, 2013 from Houghton Mifflin.  I absolutely LOVED Grave Mercy, so I am positively drooling now that I've seen the cover for the next.  Must. have. it!

Sybella arrives at the convent’s doorstep half mad with grief and despair. Those that serve Death are only too happy to offer her refuge—but at a price. Naturally skilled in both the arts of death and seduction, the convent views Sybella as one of their most dangerous weapons.

But those assassin’s skills are little comfort when the convent returns her to a life that nearly drove her mad. Her father’s rage and brutality are terrifying, and her brother’s love is equally monstrous. And while Sybella is a weapon of justice wrought by the god of Death himself, He must give her a reason to live. When she discovers an unexpected ally imprisoned in the dungeons, will a daughter of Death find something other than vengeance to live for?

This heart-pounding sequel to Grave Mercy serves betrayal, treachery, and danger in equal measure, bringing readers back to fifteenth century Brittany and will keep them on the edge of their seats.
