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?

Dark Corners by Megan Goldin (Trade Paperback)

Dark Corners Cover

I just started reading the exciting new thriller from awesome Australian author Megan Goldin, Dark Corners. A sequel to her previous gripping read, The Night Swim, Dark Corners follows a famed true-crime podcaster when she is called in to investigate a mysterious disappearance that will force her to go undercover in an influencer convention. This is already proving to be a fascinating and compelling read and I look forward to unwinding Goldin’s latest impressive puzzle.

The Shadow Casket by Chris Wooding (Audiobook)

The Shadow Casket Cover

This week I also started listening to a massive fantasy release from earlier in the year with The Shadow Casket by Chris Wooding. The sequel to his epic 2018 novel, The Ember Blade, The Shadow Casket follows a desperate band of revolutionaries as they attempt to overthrow an evil empire, while also dealing with dangerous supernatural threats. The first book in this series was a powerful and elaborate novel and I have been really looking forward to this sequel for years. I have made a fair bit of progress so far, and The Shadow Casket is already proving to be everything I hoped it would be. I look forward to discovering just how epic and impressive Wooding has made this sequel, although it will probably take me a couple of weeks to get through this lengthy audiobook.

Starter Villain by John Scalzi (ebook)

Starter Villain Cover

A very fun and hilarious novel about a rookie supervillain, Starter Villain is John Scalzi at his best, and I managed to power through this book in a single day.

Warhammer 40,000: Cypher: Lord of the Fallen by John French (Audiobook)

Cypher - Lord of the Fallen Cover

A particularly intriguing, intense and complex Warhammer 40,000 novel, Cypher: Lord of the Fallen was a short, but very sweet, audiobook, that I cannot recommend enough. Review to follow soon.

Fearless by M. W. Craven (Trade Paperback)

Fearless Cover

A very exciting and over-the-top action thriller that followed a cool new protagonist on a deadly revenge mission. Fast-paced, intense and so damn violent, this was a very awesome read.

I am hoping to start reading Never a Hero by Vanessa Len in the next week. The sequel to her impressive debut from last year, Only a Monster, Never a Hero looks set to be one of the best young adult novels of 2023 and I am very excited to start reading it.

What are you currently reading?

Starter Villain by John Scalzi (ebook)

Starter Villain Cover

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)

Cypher - Lord of the Fallen Cover

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)

The Last True Templar Cover

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)

The Traitor Cover

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

Fearless Cover

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.

The Last True Templar by Boyd and Beth Morrison (ebook)

The Last True Templar Cover

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)

The Traitor Cover

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)

Fractal Noise Cover

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.

Make sure to check out my review for it here.

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

Cypher - Lord of the Fallen Cover

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.
