WWW Wednesday – 5 February 2025

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:

Unhallowed Halls by Lili Wilkinson (ebook)

I just started reading Unhallowed Halls by Lili Wilkinson.  A fun young adult dark academia novel that sees a young protagonist investigate a mysterious Scottish boarding school with a demonic edge to it, Unhallowed Halls sounded very entertaining, and I have really enjoyed Wilkinson’s other young adult books in the past (see my reviews for The Erasure Initiative and After the Lights Go Out). I’ve only made a little progress on Unhallowed Halls so far, and I look forward to uncovering the complete complex narrative soon.

Days of Shattered Faith by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Audiobook)

I also started to listen to the audiobook version of the new Adrian Tchaikovsky novel, Days of Shattered Faith.  The third book in Tchaikovsky’s Tyrant Philosophers series, Days of Shattered Faith follows two damaged diplomats from an unpopular empire as they try to navigate a crazy foreign city.  I had so much fun with the previous entries in this series, City of Last Chances and House of Open Wounds, both of which were amongst my favourite books of 2023 (with City of Last Chances being one of the best audiobooks of 2023), and I have been looking forward to Days of Shattered Faith for a while now.  I have made a bit of progress with this book, and it is proving to be a particularly captivating read, loaded with unique characters and an imaginative and elaborate setting.  I am hoping to finish this book off in the next week or so, and Days of Shattered Faith is proving to be a very exceptional book.

What did you recently finish reading?

An Ethical Guide to Murder by Jenny Morris (ebook)

I managed to finish off the excellent debut thriller An Ethical Guide to Murder by Jenny Morris this week. A powerful and intriguing book set around an interesting plot premise, An Ethical Guide to Murder was a very fun novel that leaves you thinking about the ethics of murder.

Warhammer 40,000: Leontus: Lord Solar by Rob Young (Audiobook)

I also managed to knock off the audiobook version of Leontus: Lord Solar this week.  The second Warhammer 40,000 book from Young, who previously impressed me with his debut novel LongshotLeontus: Lord Solar was a very compelling and exciting read that was really worth checking out.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Crusade by Richard Cullen

If I get a chance in the next week, I’ll probably read the upcoming historical fiction book Crusade by Richard Cullen.  The sequel to Cullen’s awesome 2024 novel, Rebellion, Crusade will follow the rogue knight protagonist from Rebellion as he attempts to prove himself in the crusades.  I really enjoyed the first book in this series and I cannot wait to see how Cullen continues the story in Crusade.

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.
