“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that was originally created by Breaking the Spine. Unfortunately Breaking the Spine are no longer hosting so I’m now linking my posts up to Wishful Endings Can’t Wait Wednesday. Don’t forget to stop over, link up and check out what books everyone else is waiting for. If you want to take part, basically, every Wednesday, we highlight a book that we’re really looking forward to. This week my book is: The Waking of Angantyr by Marie Brennan I was so happy and surprised when I saw that Marie Brennan had an upcoming release. By which I mean (because I can be a bit understated sometimes) I was totally thrilled. Here’s the cover and description:
From the bestselling author of A Natural History of Dragons comes a thrilling epic fantasy of treachery, lies and witchcraft.
The bondmaid Hervor is used to dead men whispering in her sleep. They’ve been doing it for as long as she can remember; it’s the living she has to watch out for. And when a new arrival at her holding triggers her into a berserker fury, she’s forced to flee the contract that enslaves her and into the arms of an uncertain future.
Unchained from the living, Hervor goes in search of a way to silence the dead, but it will take much more than grit and determination to make that happen. She’ll need the help of a ruthless Viking, an ailing jarl, a mad witch, and more―for the treachery that killed her ghosts isn’t nearly as dead as they are, and the path to peace must first traverse a river of blood.
Expected publication date: October 2023
This is new to me, it sounds amazing! I’ll definitely be adding it to my list😁
I’m really looking forward to it and it was such a surprise when I spotted it – it seems very lowkey somehow.

This looks fantastic, but I think UK only for now?
Yes, I think you’re probably right. It feels very lowkey at the moment for some reason but I’m looking forward to it very much.
