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?
The Last True Templar by Boyd and Beth Morrison (ebook)
I made a good start on the early copy of The Last True Templar I got through Netgalley this week and it is proving to be quite the awesome novel. Written by the team of Boyd and Beth Morrison, The Last True Templar is the sequel to one of my favourite books from last year, The Lawless Land, which I had such an epic time with. This sequel continues to follow the protagonists from the first book, an excommunicated knight and a fraudulent noblewoman, as they journey throughout medieval Europe, this time getting involved in an insidious plot surrounding the destroyed Knights Templar. I am already about a quarter of the way through The Last True Templar at the moment and I will easily finish it off in the next few days. This cool book has a very exciting plot to it and I cannot wait to see where the clever historical thriller elements take me.
The Traitor by Anthony Ryan (Audiobook)
I am still going strong with the audiobook version of The Traitor and it is living up to all of my expectations. The third and final book in Anthony Ryan’s The Covenant of Steel trilogy, The Traitor, follows on from the exceptional novels, The Pariah and The Martyr, and was one of my most anticipated novels of 2023. Following a former criminal turned scribe, soldier and knight, The Traitor sees the protagonist torn between love and the greater good in a particularly harrowing adventure. I am about halfway through The Traitor at the moment and things are really starting to get dark and very intense. I cannot wait to see how this epic series comes to an end and I’m sure I won’t be fully prepared for every dark twist and turn that is to come. This will probably end up being one of my favourite books of 2023 and I am hoping to finish The Traitor off by this time next week.
What did you recently finish reading?
Fractal Noise by Christopher Paolini (Trade Paperback)
I managed to finish off the new science fiction novel from Christopher Paolini, Fractal Noise this week and it ended up being a very awesome read. A prequel to his previous novel, To Sleep In A Sea of Stars, Fractal Noise was a compelling and harrowing space exploration novel that really draws you in. Make sure to check out my review for it here.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Starter Villain by John Scalzi
I hoping to start reading my early copy of Starter Villain by John Scalzi in the next week. The latest standalone novel from the always entertaining Scalzi (check out my reviews for his previous awesome books, Redshirts and The Kaiju Preservation Society), Starter Villain will follow the chaos surrounding a protagonist who inherits a supervillain company. I have no doubt this is going to be a very fun read and I cannot wait to check it out.
Warhammer 40,000: Cypher: Lord of the Fallen by John French
If I manage to get through The Traitor in the next week my plan is to listen to another recently released Warhammer 40,000 novel, Cypher: Lord of the Fallen by John French. Following a notorious, yet mysterious, rogue as he runs around the Imperial Palace, Cypher: Lord of the Fallen sounds like an awesome addition to this already fun franchise and I cannot wait to dive into its amazing story.
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.
The Unseen Library 
There’s such a great selection of books here! Starter Villain in particular just sounds too entertaining, I had to add it.
Happy reading and thanks so much for sharing!
