WWW Wednesday – 17 September 2025

WWW Wednesday is a weekly post 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 Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown (Hardcover)

I’ve just started reading the intriguing new Dan Brown novel, The Secret of Secrets.  Bringing back Brown’s iconic protagonist on another history-laden mystery, The Secret of Secrets is a very compelling read and one I know I’m going to enjoy.  I’ve only made a little progress on The Secret of Secrets so far this week, and I’m hoping to get through a fair bit of it this weekend, and I imagine I’ll have a great time doing so.

Born of an Iron Storm by Anthony Ryan (Audiobook)

I’m still listening to the excellent fantasy novel Born of an Iron Storm by Anthony Ryan at the moment.  The sequel to last year’s A Tide of Black SteelBorn of an Iron Storm continues the great story from the first book, as several compelling characters attempt to survive an oncoming invasion from a previously hidden nation.  I’m more than halfway through Born of an Iron Storm at the moment, and it is proving to be an outstanding listen.  I’m very curious to see how Ryan wraps this excellent story up and Born of an Iron Storm is proving to be one of the best fantasy books of 2025.

What did you recently finish reading?

Katabasis by R. F. Kuang (Trade Paperback)

I managed to finish off the complex fantasy novel, Katabasis by R. F. Kuang this week. A curious and intense novel from a rising star in fantasy fiction, Katabasis has an intriguing plot about two rival students who must journey to hell to save their professor’s soul. I really enjoyed the excellent narrative that emerged, and this was an outstanding 2025 release.

End Game by Jeffrey Archer (ebook)

I absolutely powered through the awesome new Jeffrey Archer novel, End Game, this week.  The final entry in Archer’s long-running William Warwick series, End Game had a very exciting and compelling thriller narrative set around the 2012 London Olympics.  End Game ended up being one of the more impressive books in this series and it serves as a worthy final entry in a consistently entertaining series.

Crossroads of Ravens by Andrzej Sapkowski (Trade Paperback)

I had an amazing time reading the new Witcher novel, Crossroads of Ravens, this week.  An exciting prequel novel from Sapkowski, Crossroads of Ravens was an excellent addition to series, and I really enjoyed its compelling adventure.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Everyone in this Bank is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson

After failing to get to it this week, I am still hoping to check out is the fun Australian murder mystery, Everyone in this Bank is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson next.  The next book in the outstanding Ernest Cunningham series, Everyone in this Bank is a Thief looks set to be another hilarious and clever read, and I’m looking forward to checking it out.

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.
