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!

Hello, hello! I hope you’re all having a great week so far. My week has been a little manic, we’ve had a new system put in at my work so it’s taken a little while to get used too and we’ve had people in checking everything’s going fine, but I’m only in four days this week because I’m heading to Berlin over the weekend for my dad’s 60th birthday present and I can’t wait to get away for a bit.

The book I’ve chosen for this week was a recent addition to my TBR. A story where a girl has to match wits with a war god, filled with stories within stories and a story about oppression, it certainly caught my eye and I’m hoping to get my hands on a copy soon.

In the winding underground tunnels of the Library, the great celestial peacekeeper of the three systems, a terrible secret lies buried.

As the daughter of a Library god, Freida has spent her whole life exploring the Library’s ever-changing tunnels and communing with the gods. Her unparalleled access makes her unique – and dangerous.

When Freida meets Joshua, a mortal boy desperate to save his people, and Nergüi, a Disciple from a persecuted religious minority, Freida is compelled to break ranks with the gods and help them. But in order to do so, she will have to venture deeper into the Library than she has ever known. There she will discover the atrocities of the past, the truth of her origins, and the impossibility of her future…

With the world at the brink of war, Freida embarks on a journey to fulfil her destiny, one that pits her against an ancient war god. Her mission is straightforward: Destroy the god before he can rain hellfire upon thousands of innocent lives – if he doesn’t destroy her first.
