Most Anticipated Release For The Second Half Of The Year I’ve been a fan of Robert Jackson Bennett’s for awhile, so I’m looking forward to seeing how he wraps up his Founders Trilogy in Locklands! Apparently this volume is set eight years after Shorefall and I’m curious about the ripple effect that those events have had on the universe!Ĥ. A New Release That You Haven’t Read But Really Want To Finally, Nghi Vo’s When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain is another knockout as it weaves in themes of storytelling and how a tale changes depending on the audience, the teller, and the cultural context around actions and words.ģ. The Missing of Clairedelune, the second book in Dabos’ The Mirror Visitor Quartet, strengthens the relationship between Ophelia and Thorn and expands the worldbuilding in an intriguing follow-up that ends with a devastating cliffhanger. Volume 4 of Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper is heartfelt and tear-jerking as it delves deeper into Charlie’s mental health problems. Surprisingly I can only think of three that I’ve enjoyed so far this year. I absolutely loved this book and I’m baffled it hasn’t been more hyped or better received.Īs a reader of predominantly sci-fi and fantasy, I usually wind up reading a number of sequels. When Charm is summoned to the Emperor’s deathbed, he charges her with choosing which of his awful sons will carry on the empire, and discovering which one is responsible for his own murder. It revolves around Charm, the necromantic mistress of a brothel that services the wealthy of Borenguard, including its Emperor.

Part political fantasy, part revenge narrative, and part mystery, The Bone Orchard is cleverly written, deftly plotted, and its world is richly drawn. Mueller’s genre-defying debut, The Bone Orchard. Honestly I’m having one of those years where I’m reading a lot and reading a lot of great books, but have discovered very few new favourites. It’s July, which means we’re half-way through the year and it’s time for that annual tradition that makes us all wonder where the last six months of our lives have gone, the mid-year freak out book tag!ġ.
