Welcome to my favorite Feature:
“Waiting on” Wednesday is hosted weekly by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
And again I have something which truly looks exciting !!
The Summer Prince
Four hundred years ago, the world ended. And now, on the coast of what was once called Brazil, women rule in the legendary pyramid city of Palmares Três. The city’s Queen only cedes her power to a man once every five years — to a Summer King, whose story will grip the city like a fever.
For June Costa, art is everything. Her brilliant creations — from murals and holograms to a delicate pattern of lights in her skin — have impressed (and irritated) her classmates and teachers alike. Her dream is to win the prestigious Queen’s Award, and the instant fame and success that come with it. It’s a dream she never questions — until she meets Enki. Enki, the newly-elected Summer King, is the hottest thing in Palmares Três. But when June sees Enki, she sees more than piercing amber eyes and a lethal samba: She sees a fellow artist.
Together, June and Enki will create art that Palmares Três will never forget. They will add fuel to a growing rebellion against the government’s strict limits on new tech. And June will fall deeply, tragically in love with Enki.
Because like all Summer Kings before him, Enki is destined to die.
Doesn’t this sound magical – in a non-magic and dystopian kind of way?
I adore the cover and the synopsis is absolutely gripping, poetical and …highly intriguing
Yes for dystopian novels ..wahoo adding to my list cupcake!

This one does sound fabulous, doesn’t it?! I like the inclusion of elements of Brazilian culture and the female authority structure and art and the hit of tragedy. What a mashup! Should be unforgettable.

I’ve seen this book floating around, mistakenly thinking it’s a book about faerie, which I typically don’t care much for But now, reading the synopsis, I’m totally adding this to my TBR. Doomed love, a matriarchal society, sci-fi and glowing tattoos? I’m in.

I think the cover on this one is gorgeous, but what I really like is that it takes place in Brazil. I love exploring new places, even in bizarro Dystopian/Fantasies. The Summer Prince sounds deliciously high drama, too.
