Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa of Wishful Endings. This allows bloggers, such as myself, to feature upcoming book releases that we are ecstatic about.
This week, it’s all about Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte. So many of the book bloggers I’m following are anticipating for this, it’s impossible not to be as well. I will be waiting for this one for its amazing synopsis and, not to mention, its beautiful cover! *heart eyes emoji lvl 99999* I’ve hopefully requested for an e-ARC of this on NetGalley but unfortunately, my request has been declined. Nevertheless, I’m soooooo excited to get my hands on this book.
Book Title: Four Dead Queens
Author: Astrid Scholte
Series: None (Standalone)
Publication Date: February 26th 2019
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
A divided nation. Four Queens. A ruthless pickpocket. A noble messenger. And the murders that unite them.
Get in quick, get out quicker.These are the words Keralie Corrington lives by as the preeminent dipper in the Concord, the central area uniting the four quadrants of Quadara. She steals under the guidance of her mentor Mackiel, who runs a black market selling their bounty to buyers desperate for what they can’t get in their own quarter. For in the nation of Quadara, each quarter is strictly divided from the other. Four queens rule together, one from each region:
Toria: the intellectual quarter that values education and ambition
Ludia: the pleasure quarter that values celebration, passion, and entertainment
Archia: the agricultural quarter that values simplicity and nature
Eonia: the futurist quarter that values technology, stoicism and harmonious communityWhen Keralie intercepts a comm disk coming from the House of Concord, what seems like a standard job goes horribly wrong. Upon watching the comm disks, Keralie sees all four queens murdered in four brutal ways. Hoping that discovering the intended recipient will reveal the culprit – information that is bound to be valuable bartering material with the palace – Keralie teams up with Varin Bollt, the Eonist messenger she stole from, to complete Varin’s original job and see where it takes them.

So glad to hear that!! I just hope our bookstores sell them when the book comes out because I don’t want to order online which would take ages (especially considering our postal system here sucks). But yeah, I hope so too, thank you! ❤

Sounds good but there seems to be a royalty explosion taking over the reading scene. Hope you love this one and the cover is really awesome.
