This week is a book by one of my favorite author's, Scott Westerfeld. I've shared my love of him in the past, and I'm so excited for this next one.
The cover is gorgeous and he's co-writing it with Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti, two author's I've never heard of. Unfortunately I must wait until September for this beauty. Here's the description taken from goodreads:
Ethan, aka "Scam," has a way with words. When he opens his mouth, whatever he wants you to hear comes out. But Ethan isn't just a smooth talker. He has a unique ability to say things he doesn't consciously even know. Sometimes the voice helps, but sometimes it hurts - like now, when the voice has lied and has landed Ethan in a massive mess. So now Ethan needs help. And he needs to go to the last people who would ever want to help him - his former group of friends, the self-named "zeros" who also all possess similarly double-edged abilities, and who are all angry at Ethan for their own respective reasons. Brought back together by Scam's latest mischief, they find themselves entangled in an epic, whirlwind adventure packed with as much interpersonal drama as mind-bending action.
I haven't heard of this one before, but it sounds interesting. I hope you enjoy reading it.

ReplyDeleteYes, it's one of the ideas that drew me to this! I've been seeing ARC's around twitter because of bookcon and I'm so jealous.
