5 englische Bücher auf meiner Wunschliste! - Jugendbücher, Fantasy

Heute stelle ich euch fünf englische Bücher vor, welche weit oben auf meiner Wunschliste stehen! Alle sind aus dem Genres Jugendbücher und Fantasy. Ich habe vor, eine Reihe draus zu machen und euch so auch Bücher aus dem englischsprachigen Raum vorzustellen :)

Sea Witch

Ever since her best friend Anna died, Evie has been an outcast in her small fishing town. Hiding her talents, mourning her loss, drowning in her guilt.Then a girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears on the shore, and the two girls catch the eyes of two charming princes. Suddenly Evie feels like she might finally have a chance at her own happily ever after. But magic isn’t kind, and her new friend harbors secrets of her own. She can’t stay in Havnestad—or on two legs—without Evie’s help. And when Evie reaches deep into the power of her magic to save her friend’s humanity—and her prince’s heart—she discovers, too late, what she’s bargained away.

Dies soll eine Märchenadoption zur bösen Seehexe sein, sowie eine Mischung von "Die kleine Meerjungfrau" und "Wicked". Ich finde es hört sich total fantastisch und magisch an und ich bin gespannt, wie es sein wird.

Strange the Dreamer

Since he was five years old, Lazlo Strange has been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to go in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself - in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.What happened in Weep to cut it off from the world? What did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving?The answers await in Weep, but so do many more mysteries - including the blue-skinned goddess who visits Lazlo's dreams . . .

Ich finde dieses Buch hört sich einfach unglaublich gut an! Mich wundert es, dass es noch nicht ins Deutsche übersetzt wurde, da es im amerikanischen Raum sehr gehypt wurde. 

Der Schreibstil soll anscheinend aber sehr anspruchsvoll sein. 

A Map of Days

Dies ist meine ich ein Spinn-Off zur Reihe "Die besonderen Kinder"

Having defeated the monstrous threat that nearly destroyed the peculiar world, Jacob Portman is back where his story began, in Florida. Except now Miss Peregrine, Emma, and their peculiar friends are with him, and doing their best to blend in. But carefree days of beach visits and normalling lessons are soon interrupted by a discovery—a subterranean bunker that belonged to Jacob’s grandfather, Abe.

Clues to Abe’s double-life as a peculiar operative start to emerge, secrets long hidden in plain sight. And Jacob begins to learn about the dangerous legacy he has inherited—truths that were part of him long before he walked into Miss Peregrine’s time loop.

Now, the stakes are higher than ever as Jacob and his friends are thrust into the untamed landscape of American peculiardom—a world with few ymbrynes, or rules—that none of them understand. New wonders, and dangers, await in this brilliant next chapter for Miss Peregrine’s peculiar children. Their story is again fully illustrated by haunting vintage photographs, but with a striking addition for this all-new, multi-era American adventure—full color.

Ich habe mir hier den Klappentext nicht ganz durchgelesen, da ich den dritten Teil der Reihe noch nicht gelesen habe. Aber da ich einfach alle Bücher von Ransom Riggs lesen muss, ist auch dieses Buch auf meiner Wunschliste gelandet :)

Girls of Paper and Fire

Each year, eight beautiful girls are chosen as Paper Girls to serve the king. It's the highest honor they could hope for...and the most demeaning. This year, there's a ninth. And instead of paper, she's made of fire.

In this richly developed fantasy, Lei is a member of the Paper caste, the lowest and most persecuted class of people in Ikhara. She lives in a remote village with her father, where the decade-old trauma of watching her mother snatched by royal guards for an unknown fate still haunts her. Now, the guards are back and this time it's Lei they're after -- the girl with the golden eyes whose rumored beauty has piqued the king's interest.

Over weeks of training in the opulent but oppressive palace, Lei and eight other girls learns the skills and charm that befit a king's consort. There, she does the unthinkable -- she falls in love. Her forbidden romance becomes enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens her world's entire way of life. Lei, still the wide-eyed country girl at heart, must decide how far she's willing to go for justice and revenge.

Das Buch erscheint erst in zwei Tagen und doch ist es schon auf meiner Wunschliste gelandet. Es erinnert mich vom Inhalt her schon etwas an "Iron Flowers" und auch hier ist das Cover wunderschön!

Tower of Dawn

Dies ist vermutlich ein Spinn-Off zu Throne of Glass

Chaol Westfall has always defined himself by his unwavering loyalty, his strength, and his position as the Captain of the Guard. But all of that has changed since Aelin shattered the glass castle, since Chaol's men were slaughtered, since the King of Adarlan spared him from a killing blow, but left his body broken. Now he and Nesryn sail for Antica - the stronghold of the southern continent's mighty empire and of the legendary healers of the Torre Cesme. It's Chaol's one shot at recovery, and with war looming back home, Dorian and Aelin's survival could depend on Chaol and Nesryn convincing Antica's rulers to ally with them. But what they discover there will change them both - and be more vital to saving Erilea than they could have imagined.

Ich bin ein richtiger Sarah J. Maas Fan und da muss ich natürlich auch dieses Buch haben! Den Klappentext habe ich mir noch nicht durchgelesen, da ich bislang nur den ersten Teil von Throne of Glass gelesen habe. :)

Habt ihr eines der Bücher schon gelesen? Und wenn ja, wie fandet ihr es?
