Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme originally hosted by Breaking the Spine and now taken over by Wishful Endings that highlights upcoming book releases we're excited to read. On my blog, I include movies as well.
Published: 18th July 2017.
Stop the Magician. Steal the book. Save the future. In modern day New York, magic is all but extinct. The remaining few who have an affinity for magic—the Mageus—live in the shadows, hiding who they are. Any Mageus who enters Manhattan becomes trapped by the Brink, a dark energy barrier that confines them to the island. Crossing it means losing their power—and often their lives. Esta is a talented thief, and she's been raised to steal magical artifacts from the sinister Order that created the Brink. With her innate ability to manipulate time, Esta can pilfer from the past, collecting these artifacts before the Order even realizes she’s there. And all of Esta's training has been for one final job: traveling back to 1902 to steal an ancient book containing the secrets of the Order—and the Brink—before the Magician can destroy it and doom the Mageus to a hopeless future. But Old New York is a dangerous world ruled by ruthless gangs and secret societies, a world where the very air crackles with magic. Nothing is as it seems, including the Magician himself. And for Esta to save her future, she may have to betray everyone in the past.
Okay, so I know this was published yesterday, but this is only one day off and I really really really needed to include it as one of my most anticipated reads because it looks AMAZING.
Old New York, magicians, a girl who's a thief, dark secrets.....this looks like Passenger meets Doctor Strange.
AND ISN'T THE COVER JUST SO FREAKIN' GOOOORGEOUS?!
I can't wait to read this eerie beauty. IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE.
(And PS: I'm taking part in the blog tour in August SO DOUBLE YAY!)
Anyone else excited for The Last Magician?

That's a pretty distinctive cover. Sounds interesting but I don't generally read a lot of historical books so part being set in 1902 wouldn't suit me I don't think! Hope you enjoy it when you get it!
