Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine where you can spotlight an upcoming release that you're eagerly anticipating.
Last of Her Name by Jessica Khoury
Releases: February 26th 2019
Sixteen years ago,
rebellion swept the galaxy known as the Belt of Jewels. Every member of
the royal family was murdered--down to their youngest child, Princess
Anya--and the Union government rose in its place. But Stacia doesn't
think much about politics. She spends her days half-wild, rambling her
father's vineyard with her closest friends, Clio and Pol.
That all changes the day a Union ship appears in town, carrying the leader of the Belt himself, the Direktor Eminent. The Direktor claims that Princess Anya is alive, and that Stacia's sleepy village is a den of empire loyalists, intent on hiding her. When Stacia is identified as the lost princess, her provincial home explodes into a nightmare.
Pol smuggles her away to a hidden escape ship in the chaos, leaving Clio in the hands of the Union. With everything she knows threading away into stars, Stacia sets her heart on a single mission. She will find and rescue Clio, even with the whole galaxy on her trail.

Thoughts:
Last of Her Name sooooooo sounds like a futuristic, sci-fi retelling of Anastasia and I. Can't. Wait! Honestly, an opportunity to read anything Anastasia like is exciting, but add in a sci-fi twist and I'm in heaven. I'm very much looking forward to reading this--it's going to be epic!
Do you like the sound of Last of Her Name?
And what are YOU waiting on this week?
