GOODREADS // WORDERY // BOOKDEPOSITORY
A girl who can speak to gods must save her people without destroying herself.
A prince in danger must decide who to trust.
A boy with a monstrous secret waits in the wings.
Together, they must assassinate the king and stop the war.
In a centuries-long war where beauty and brutality meet, their three paths entwine in a shadowy world of spilled blood and mysterious saints, where a forbidden romance threatens to tip the scales between dark and light.
WHY I’M EXCITED FOR WICKED SAINTS
- Apparently is dark, twisty and lushly Gothic.
- Joan of Arc. It’s not a retelling but the author has said it “takes on thematic elements similar to Joan of Arc’s story”.
- It has a blend of Russian and Polish setting and culture.

OH, I thought it was a straight-up retelling and didn’t really want to read about a teenage girl being burned at the stake, but now I have hope that it won’t end in tragedy since it’s just got similar themes? Cautiously interested now…

I don’t think it’s going to be that close, but I’m not 100% sure. Once I read my ARC I’ll definetly included that info in the review.

This sounds really interesting. I like the Polish & Russian influences and Joan of Arc (if there’s no burning at the stake!)
