I have never been one for superheroes or comics before, but this whole new DC Icons series that Random House has been publishing has really piqued my interest and is slowly converting me into a fan. So many of my favourite authors are included in this series, such as Marie Lu and Leigh Bardugo and I have been loving their installments so much.
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about and have yet to read. It is a spin-off of the original meme, Waiting on Wednesday that was formerly hosted by Breaking the Spine.
THIS WEEK’S BOOK:
Title: Catwoman: Soulstealer (DC Icons #3)
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Publisher: Random House Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: August 7, 2018
Summary (from Goodreads): When the Bat’s away, the Cat will play. It’s time to see how many lives this cat really has. . . .
Two years after escaping Gotham City’s slums, Selina Kyle returns as the mysterious and wealthy Holly Vanderhees. She quickly discovers that with Batman off on a vital mission, Batwing is left to hold back the tide of notorious criminals. Gotham City is ripe for the taking.
Meanwhile, Luke Fox wants to prove he has what it takes to help people in his role as Batwing. He targets a new thief on the prowl who seems cleverer than most. She has teamed up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, and together they are wreaking havoc. This Catwoman may be Batwing’s undoing.
THOUGHTS
Out of all the characters from the Batman TV series, Catwoman is my absolute favourite. I love a great villain and I am looking forward to finding out what Selina has cooked up this time. It will be interesting to see how Maas interprets the story and I am already loving the side characters that she has chosen.
About Sarah J. Maas
Sarah J. Maas is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Throne of Glass series (Queen of Shadows, Book 4, will be out in September 2015), as well as the A Court of Thorns and Roses series (out 5/5/15).
Sarah lives in Bucks County, PA, and over the years, she has developed an unhealthy appreciation for Disney movies and bad pop music. She adores fairy tales and ballet, drinks too much tea, and watches an ungodly amount of TV. When she's not busy writing, she can be found exploring the historic and beautiful Pennsylvania countryside with her husband and canine companion.
I really want to read this book. Still have to read the Batman one but I have lots of time to read it before this one releases. It’ll be interesting to see SJM do something a little different from her other books.

I am not a big DC fan, never really cared for any of it really. BUT, I think I would really like this book! I sounds like that Cat wants to play. I will put this on my TBR list! Great pick!

It’s amazing what a favourite author can lead you to read. 🙂
Love the author, but wasn’t sure about these stories. Now, however? I am changing my mind. I think they might be something that I could enjoy greatly
I can’t wait to find out if you enjoy them! 🙂
This sounds so fun, plus Harley and Poison Ivy too? I may have to add this one…

I haven’t read any of these, just never cared for superhero stories. However, it occurred to me that these might be good to read with my kids. Will wait to see what you think of it!

I am so freaking excited for this book! I adored Wonder Woman and thought Batman was pretty good too, so I can only hope this one is just as amazing!

I have high hopes for this one! I hope that we both love it. 🙂
Of all the dc book series the Catwomen One is the one I really want to read the most. As a kid I always aspired to be like catwoman as portrayed by Hallie Berry. Catwoman is such a character and I’d love to see how Sarah writes her.
I have yet to see that one! I hope we both love it. 🙂
I really need to check out this series.
I can’t wait for this book too! I love catwoman and Sarah Maas. 🙂
