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?
Starter Villain by John Scalzi (ebook)
I just started reading my early copy of Starter Villain by John Scalzi, and so far it is a ton of fun. 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 follows the chaos surrounding a protagonist who inherits a supervillain company. I have already had several great laughs thanks to this book and I will probably finish it off in the next day or so.
Warhammer 40,000: Cypher: Lord of the Fallen by John French (Audiobook)
I also started listening to the recently released Warhammer 40,000 novel, Cypher: Lord of the Fallen by John French today. Following a notorious, yet mysterious, rogue as he runs around the Imperial Palace, Cypher: Lord of the Fallen is proving to be an intriguing and action-packed addition to this awesome franchise and I really glad I got the chance to dive into it. This is a relatively short audiobook so I will probably finish this off in the next couple of days as well and I am looking forward to seeing how this intense story unfolds.
What did you recently finish reading?
The Last True Templar by Boyd and Beth Morrison (ebook)
I managed to finish off the early copy of The Last True Templar I got through Netgalley this week and it ended up being a very 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 was an outstanding read that combined compelling historical detail with an intriguing thriller storyline. I am hoping to get a review up for it soon and I am very glad I got the opportunity to read this upcoming book in advance.
The Traitor by Anthony Ryan (Audiobook)
I finally managed to finish off the audiobook version of The Traitor this week, and boy was it everything I wanted it to be and more. 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 had an epic story of betrayal, insanity and war. This was easily one of the best fantasy books I have read in 2023 so far and I deeply enjoyed how Ryan finished off this brilliant trilogy. Review to hopefully follow soon.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Fearless by M. W. Craven
The next book that I am planning to check out is the cool sounding thriller, Fearless by author M. W. Craven. Fearless has a fun and action-packed plot behind it and I look forward to diving into the excitement later this week.
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.
