### Waiting on Wednesday

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at

[Breaking the Spine](http://breakingthespine.blogspot.com/)

, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. My choice this week:

Between the Sea and Sky

, by Jaclyn Dolamore

Publisher: Bloomsbury

Release date: October 5, 2011

Bloomsbury's summary, via

[Goodreads](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9583173-between-the-sea-and-sky)

:

> For as long as Esmerine can remember, she has longed to join her older sister, Dosinia, as a siren--the highest calling a mermaid can have. Then Dosinia runs away to the mainland, and Esmerine is sent to retrieve her. Using magic to transform her tail into legs, she makes her way unsteadily to the capital city. There she comes upon a friend she hasn't seen since childhood--a dashing young man named Alandare, who belongs to a winged race of people. As Esmerine and Alandare band together to search for Dosinia, they rekindle a friendship . . . and ignite the emotions for a love so great it cannot be bound by sea, land, or air.

Jaclyn Dolamore's debut novel,

Magic Under Glass

(Bloomsbury 2009), is an absolute gem with a charming, old-fashioned feel. It has a tightly woven plot, a determined heroine, excellent world-building, and something that always endears a book to me: decadent food descriptions. Pure loveliness!

So of course I'm very eager to read her next book. And bonus: this one has mermaids!

As stated in

[this blog post](http://jaclyndolamore.blogspot.com/2010/11/between-sea-and-sky-cover.html)

,

Between the Sea and Sky

takes place in the same world we saw in

Magic Under Glass

, so I'm excited to get to know that rich, detailed setting even better. I'm looking forward to another beautifully-crafted "but how will it WORK??" romance. And how can anyone resist a story the author envisioned as "Jane Austen meets Miyazaki?" Hee! Also, can I just say? Esmerine is the most perfect mermaid name EVER. So elegant and wonderfully mermaid-y. Esmerine! I love it. Cannot wait for this one.
