WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words, where bloggers share the books that they’ve recently finished, what they are currently reading and what books they are planning to read next. Essentially you have to answer three questions (the Three Ws):
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
So, let’s get to it.
What are you currently reading?
Witch King by Martha Wells (Ebook)
I started reading the epic new fantasy novel from Martha Wells this week, Witch King. Following a demon who awakens after being murdered to a bold new world, Witch King is a very interesting novel that I am having a great time reading. I have only gotten about 50 pages in so far, but I am deeply enjoying it’s complex narrative and I look forward to seeing how the entire thing turns out.
Warhammer 40,000: The Lion: Son of the Forest by Mike Brooks
I decided to listen to the fantastic recent Warhammer 40,000 novel The Lion: Son of the Forest this week. Written by rising Warhammer author Mike Brooks, who previously impressed me with Huron Blackheart and Warboss, The Lion: Son of the Forest follows the return of the legendary founder of the Dark Angels Space Marines as he awakens in a changed universe. The return of this character is one of the more significant events of recent Warhammer 40,000 history and Brooks has produced an amazing story around this. I am loving the complex and emotionally rich story which is really highlighting Brooks’ fantastic writing ability as one of the rising stars of Warhammer fiction.
What did you recently finish reading?
Battle Song by Ian Ross (Trade Paperback)
I managed to finish reading the awesome historical adventure, Battle Song by Ian Ross. Following a young squire as he reluctantly follows his new amoral master to tourneys and war in 13th century Europe, Battle Song was a compelling and highly exciting novel, and one that I am hoping to review soon.
Dead Beat by Jim Butcher (Audiobook)
Another epic and awesome entry in the Dresden Files series, Dead Beat was an exceptional read and I have already reviewed it for last week’s Throwback Thursday.
The Malevolent Seven by Sebastien De Castell (Trade Paperback)
I had a lot of fun powering through the wildly entertaining fantasy novel, The Malevolent Seven, this week. Following seven damaged and immoral magicians as they set off on a doomed assassination mission, The Malevolent Seven is a great book that was so much damn fun to read. Review to follow soon.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Falling Sky by Harry Sidebottom
I am still hoping to quickly dive into the fun historical fiction novel, Falling Sky in the next week. Written by one of my favourite historical fiction authors, Falling Sky will follow a determined Roman general as he attempts to win a dangerous battle in the Alps while also countering treachery in his own camp. I have been meaning to read this book for a while and I know I am going to have a ton of fun with it.
The Will of the Many by James Islington
I’m also hoping in the next week to start listening to the cool epic fantasy novel, The Will of the Many by James Islington. Set in a deadly magical school, The Will of the Many is a thrilling sounding novel filled with politics, mystery, and an intriguing magical system. I love the sound of The Will of the Many and it looks set to be one of the biggest fantasy releases of the year.
That’s it for this week, check back in next Wednesday to see what progress I’ve made on my reading and what books I’ll be looking at next.
