Waiting on Wednesday 05/31/23
Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

The Olympian Affair by Jim Butcher (November 7, 2023 by Ace)
A cover? A description? Yes, looks like it’s finally happening! Please let it be actually happening! Though a reread of The Aeronaut’s Windlass will probably be in order.
“The fate of the Cinder Spires may be decided by crossed swords in the next exhilarating fantasy adventure in the New York Times bestselling series of noble families, swordplay, and airships.
For centuries the Cinder Spires have safeguarded humanity, rising far above the deadly surface world. Within their halls, aristocratic houses rule, developing scientific marvels and building fleets of airships for defense and trade.
Now, the Spires hover on the brink of open war.
Everyone knows it’s coming. The guns of the great airship fleets that control the skies between the last bastions of humanity will soon speak in anger, and Spire Albion stands alone against the overwhelming might of Spire Aurora’s Armada and its new secret weapon–one capable of destroying the populations of entire Spires.
A trading summit at Spire Olympia provides an opportunity for the Spirearch, Lord Albion, to secure alliances that will shape the outcomes of the war, and to that end he dispatches privateer Captain Francis Madison Grimm and the crew of the AMS Predator to bolster the Spirearch’s diplomatic agents.
It will take daring, skill, and no small amount of showmanship to convince the world to stand with Spire Albion–assuming that it is not already too late.”

I loved the first book, but you’re right, a reread might be smart since it’s been so long. I’m not a fan of the cover, though. The artwork doesn’t match the first book at all!

No the new cover doesn’t fit and I’m not a fan either. They should have stuck with the same style as the first one!

Yet another example of a huge author with so many books to their name, and I’ve not read any of them. But I have bought a few, so……. one day. 🙂

To be fair, many of this books are from the Dresden Files series and that one’s been going on so long it’s difficult for any newcomers to jump on board, so don’t feel so bad 🙂
