The Lost Sun

Series: The United States of Asgard, Book One

By: Tessa Gratton

Published: 25th June 2013

Published By: RandomHouse

Found: On Goodreads' YA Novels of 2013 Listopia

Synopsis From Goodreads:

Fans of Neil Gaiman's American Gods and Holly Black's The Curse Workers will embrace this richly drawn, Norse-mythology-infused alternate world: the United States of Asgard. 

Seventeen-year-old Soren Bearskin is trying to escape the past. His father, a famed warrior, lost himself to the battle-frenzy and killed thirteen innocent people. Soren cannot deny that berserking is in his blood--the fevers, insomnia, and occasional feelings of uncontrollable rage haunt him. So he tries to remain calm and detached from everyone at Sanctus Sigurd's Academy. But that's hard to do when a popular, beautiful girl like Astrid Glyn tells Soren she dreams of him. That's not all Astrid dreams of--the daughter of a renowned prophetess, Astrid is coming into her own inherited abilities.

When Baldur, son of Odin and one of the most popular gods in the country, goes missing, Astrid sees where he is and convinces Soren to join her on a road trip that will take them to find not only a lost god, but also who they are beyond the legacy of their parents and everything they've been told they have to be.

Ok, call me a nerd but after the Marvel movie Thor I have kinda had an obsession with Norse mythology.  But I never seem to be able to find any Norse-inspired books.  And now... YESSS!!!  Not only is it Norse-inspired, but it is also recommended for readers of two of my favourite authors as well as written by one of my favourite authors!  All of this = YAY!!!!!!!  *happy dance*  Can't wait! :D

Well, that's my wish.  What are you wishing for today? :D

Taken

Series: Taken, Book One

By: Erin Bowman

Published: 16th April 2013

Published By: HarperTeen

Found: On Goodreads' YA Novels of 2013 Listopia

Synopsis From Goodreads:

There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends…and he’s gone.

They call it the Heist.

Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.

Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?

I've seen loads of really really mixed things about this book.  It seems to be like Marmite: love it or hate it.  I love Marmite so I think I'd like to give it a go...

Well, that's my wish.  What are you wishing for today? :D

Let The Sky Fall

Series: Sky Fall, Book One

By: Shannon Messenger

Published: 5th March 2013

Published By: Simon Pulse

Found: On Goodreads' YA Novels of 2013 Listopia

Synopsis From Goodreads:

Seventeen-year-old Vane Weston has no idea how he survived the category five tornado that killed his parents. And he has no idea if the beautiful, dark-haired girl who’s swept through his dreams every night since the storm is real. But he hopes she is.

Seventeen-year-old Audra is a sylph, an air elemental. She walks on the wind, can translate its alluring songs, and can even coax it into a weapon with a simple string of commands. She’s also a guardian—Vane’s guardian—and has sworn an oath to protect Vane at all costs. Even if it means sacrificing her own life.

When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both of their families, Audra’s forced to help Vane remember who he is. He has a power to claim—the secret language of the West Wind, which only he can understand. But unlocking his heritage will also unlock the memory Audra needs him to forget. And their greatest danger is not the warriors coming to destroy them—but the forbidden romance that’s grown between them.

This one looks really cool - and I just love that cover!  I've heard loads of good things about it and am always on the look out for an awesome fantasy book! :D

Well, that's my wish.  What are you wishing for today? :D
