2020 has been a stressful, and chaotic year. One thing has kept my spirits up are the amount of fanstic books that were released and some amazing reveals for books that will be released in 2021! I’ve decided to pick 5 (even though there are wayyyy more than that haha) books that I am really excited for that will be released in 2021.
🤍🔥A Court of Silver Flames - Sarah J Maas: It’s no secret that I am a huge Sarah J Maas fan. A Court of Thorns and Roses is my all time favorite series. I won’t spoil anything for the people who haven’t read the series yet, but I will say I have been waiting for Nesta and Cassian’s book for years! I can’t begin to describe how excited I was when Sarah released a title and official release date back in June. Now we just wait for a cover reveal *squeals* A Court of Silver Flames will be released on January 26, 2021 and is now available for preorder. Below I have added the official synopsis from Bloomsbury.
“Nesta Archeron has always been prickly – proud, swift to anger and slow to forgive. And since the war – since being made High Fae against her will – she's struggled to forget the horrors she endured and find a place for herself within the strange and deadly Night Court. The person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred, winged warrior who is there at Nesta's every turn. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. And when they are forced to train in battle together, sparks become flame.As the threat of war casts its shadow over them once again, Nesta and Cassian must fight monsters from within and without if they are to stand a chance of halting the enemies of their court. But the ultimate risk will be searching for acceptance – and healing – in each other's arms.”

💙🎪 When Night Breaks - Janella Angeles: Back I’m January I was approved for an Advanced Readers Copy of Where Dreams Descend. I adore books about carnivals, circuses, etc. The world setting, the romance and the mystery of certain events sucked me in and I finished the book in one day! I was immediately ready for the next book. Recently Janella revealed the cover and title of book two and I was estatic! When Night Breaks will be released on June 8, 2021! Below I have added the official synopsis from Wednesday Books.
“The competition has come to a disastrous end, and Daron Demarco’s fall from grace is now front page news. But little matters to him beyond Kallia, the contestant he fell for who is now lost to this world and in the hands of a dangerous magician. Daron is willing to do whatever it takes to find her. Even if it means embarking on a dark and treacherous journey, risking more than just his life, with no promise of return. After awaking in darkness, Kallia has never felt more lost. Especially with Jack by her side, the magician with who has the answers but cannot be trusted. Together, they must navigate a dazzling world where mirrors show memories and illusions shadow every corner, one ruled by a powerful game master who could all too easily destroy the world she left behind -- and the boy she can’t seem to forget. With time running out, Kallia must embrace her role in a darker destiny, or lose everyone she loves, forever.”

❤️⛵️Namesake - Adrienne Young: In March I received an ARC of Fable and I fell in love with it. I had never read anything by this author before and I totally questioned myself as to why that was once I was done with the book! Book 2 already has a released date and book cover and I’m hoping to read it very soon! This book will have you feeling as mf joker actually on the sea. Namesake will be released on March 16, 2021! Below I’ve added the official synopsis from Barnes and Noble.

🤎🧝🏽♀️Witches Steeped in Gold - Ciannon Smart: Ok, I am sooo ready to have this book in my hands. A book about Jamaican Witches? YES PLEASE! Not only is the cover beautiful but the synopsis sounds amazing and I have no doubt this will be one of my favorites series. Witches Steeped in Gold will be released on April 20, 2021! I have added the official synopsis from Google books below.
“Trust no witch . . . Iraya Adair has spent her life in a cell. Heir of an overthrown and magically-gifted dynasty, she was exiled from her home on the island nation of Aiyca when she was just a child. But every day brings her closer to freedom - and vengeance. Jazmyne Cariot grew up dressed in gold, with stolen magic at her fingertips. Daughter of the self-crowned doyenne, her existence is a threat to her mother's rule. But unlike her sister, Jazmyne has no intention of dying to strengthen her mother's power. Sworn enemies, the two witches enter a deadly alliance to take down the woman who threatens both their worlds. But revenge is a bloody pursuit, and nothing is certain - except the lengths Iraya and Jazmyne will go to win this game. Two witches. One motive. And a very untrustworthy alliance.”
There are soooo many more books I’m highly anticipating and I’ll probably do more of these posts in the upcoming weeks! My waiting for release and TBR (to be read) lists are overflowing but I can’t complain haha. What book releases are you guys most excited for? @highqueenofelfhame
