Thoughts

Welcome to another waiting on Wednesday! This week I’m talking about Nightfall, the third and final book in the Ashen Torment series. I actually hadn’t heard much about the release of this at all – it’s still showing as untitled and without a cover on Goodreads. I then came across a mention on Twitter with that stunning cover and it made me so excited to pick this one up. Den Patrick’s Erebus Sequence is one of my favourite fantasy series of all time and Witchsign was one of my favourite books of 2018. (I haven’t actually read book two Stormtide yet, but it is very high on my priority list). I completely fell in love with the characters in this series and I’m so excited to see what the rest of the series brings. The Ashen Torment books are set in such a fascinating world and it’s one of those stories you absolutely cannot put down. Nightfall is publishing August 20th from HarperVoyager.
