Waiting on Wednesday: That Inevitable Victorian Thing by E.K. Johnston


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights exciting upcoming releases that we can't wait to be released!

This week's upcoming book spotlight is:
That Inevitable Victorian Thing by E.K. Johnston
Publication Date: October 3rd, 2017
Dutton Books for Young Readers
Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository

From Goodreads:


Set in a near-future world where the British Empire was preserved, not by the cost of blood and theft but by effort of repatriation and promises kept, That Inevitable Victorian Thing is a novel of love, duty, and the small moments that can change people and the world.

Victoria-Margaret is the crown princess of the empire, a direct descendent of Victoria I, the queen who changed the course of history two centuries earlier. The imperial practice of genetically arranged matchmaking will soon guide Margaret into a politically advantageous marriage like her mother before her, but before she does her duty, she'll have one summer incognito in a far corner of empire. In Toronto, she meets Helena Marcus, daughter of one of the empire's greatest placement geneticists, and August Callaghan, the heir apparent to a powerful shipping firm currently besieged by American pirates. In a summer of high-society debutante balls, politically charged tea parties, and romantic country dances, Margaret, Helena, and August discover they share an unusual bond and maybe a one in a million chance to have what they want and to change the world in the process —just like the first Queen Victoria. 


First off: that cover. So gorgeous. This books sounds so unique and I feel as though I really have no idea what to expect. It doesn't seem like something that I would normally be drawn to, but at the same time it just sounds amazing? I really don't know, but I do know that I'm really looking forward to it release!



What do you think about this upcoming release? What are your anticipated upcoming releases?
