Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme where every Tuesday we look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) bookish examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  Top Ten Tuesday (created and hosted by  The Broke and Bookish) is now being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and future week’s topics can be found here.  This week’s topic is :

10 (must read) Series that I plan to finish

I am absolutely determined to finish the following 10 series, although you may notice that my header is the usual concluding line to a traditionally told fairytale so perhaps I’m just fantasising – but, fingers crossed, here are my 10 absolutely, definitely must read, without a doubt, dead cert series that I will finish, no question asked, no siree:

1. The Book of the Ancestor series by Mark Lawrence, Red Sister and Grey Sister already completed, now eagerly awaiting the final book – Holy Sister.
2. Of Blood and Bone a series that got off to an excellent start with A Time of Dread.  I’m very excited to read more from this world.  A Time of Blood is the next book in series – not quite sure when it’s due but – all good things to those that wait.
3. The final instalment in The Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden.  I loved The Bear and the Nightingale and The Girl in the Tower.  The Winter of the Witch is due out in January 2019 and if the first two books are anything to go by this should be amazing.
4. The Winnowing Flame Trilogy by Jen Williams. Such a fantastic series so far.  Ms Williams can write characters that you simply love and her books are creative and well drawn.  The Ninth Rain and Bitter Twins are simply amazing books.
5. The Wounded Kingdom by RJ Barker.  I can’t recommend this series enough.  Age of Assassins and Blood of Assassins I devoured in short order – I’m highly anticipating King of Assassins.
6. The Daevabad Trilogy by SA Chakraborty got off to an excellent start with The City of Brass.  The second instalment, The Kingdom of Copper, is due in January 2019.
7. The Thieves of Fate series by Tracy Townsend got off to a fantastic start with The Nine – such an impressive debut it left me lost for words – which just doesn’t happen!  I am buzzing to get my hands on a copy of The Fall.
8. The Empires of Dust series by Anna Smith Spark kicked off in a breathtaking fashion with the release of The Court of Broken Knives.  The next instalment, The Tower of Living and Dying is due out in August 2018 – I am giddy with excitement and have an onrush of grabby hands.
9. Ed McDonald’s Raven’s Mark series started with the incredibly impressive Blackwing.  I’m currently reading (and loving) Ravencry.  If you’re not reading this series – why?  Just why??
10. The Nevernight Chronicles by Jay Kristoff – Nevernight and Godsgrave were awesome – Darkdawn is due around September 2019.  I’m eager to pick it up.
