A modern retelling of the German legend "Tristan and Isolde", "Tris and Izzie", is about a young witch named Izzie who is dating Mark King, the captain of the basketball team and thinks her life is going swimmingly well. Until-- she makes a love potion for her best friend Brangane and then ends up taking it herself accidentally, and falling in love withTristan, the new guy at school. I love the tale of Tristan and Isolde (aka the forerunners to Romeo and Juliet), and I love a good YA adaptation of literature in general, so this one looks promising. And talk about cover love! Oh man, they nailed this one. Absolutely stunning!
Oh, and psst! Mette is going to be participating in Fairy Tale Fortnight, which STARTS NEXT WEEK!!! Just thought I'd give you a heads up. :)
Anyone else wishing for this one?
If not, what's on your wishlist?
Yes! So excited for this one! I looove Tristan and Isolde (especially the James Franco movie...*swoon*) and this cover is gorgeous! Fun fun!
ReplyDeleteYES! I've been drooling over this one since the cover was released. Love the art, and love the concept!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one, but it looks awesome! I've recently hated Tristan and Isolde, but only because I had to listen to the prelude of Wagner's opera about a billion times in my undergrad. Very annoying. But I am still putting this book on my TBR list. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read this one! I just love the cover and it sounds really good. I love the idea of a love potion in the story.

ReplyDeleteMy WOW this week.
Oh! I wanna read this one so bad! I'm a huge Tristan and Isolde fan too, and I'm so freaking excited for this book! I swear every time I see it, I just want it more and more and more! I totally agree too, the cover of this one is absolutely gorgeous! :D
ReplyDeleteThis cover is soooooo good. I love it.
ReplyDeleteJust saw this one! I love this story as well! One of my favorites. Did you also see Juliet Immortal? Looks really good! Romeo and Juliet fighting against each other...
