In 2025, I'm reading about water! It is life sustaining, can absorb quite a lot of heat, and can dramatically, or imperceptibly shape an environment, so - there's a lot there to unpack.
New books from major publishers typically come out on Tuesdays! (Here's a good look at why and how that isn't for every new book.)
So, lets talk about a book coming out TODAY! that features water, that I'm a little bit excited about!
Kell Woods is an Australian author, and Upon a Starlit Tide is releasing in North America TODAY!
This is a re-telling of 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Cinderella' fairy tales set in eighteenth century Brittany, It is one of the options for my Online SciFi/Fantasy book club that I belong to and so I am quite interested in seeing how this goes. Typically, I am not a huge fan of re-tellings, but this one is promised to be a wholly different tale of Love , Power and Betrayal. I mean, clearly it won't be wholly different, or it might be marketed as a tale of Love, Power and Betrayal, without the fairy tale association.
The Brittany setting is unique, and I admit, I don't know much about that region and it's history, but I found this blog entry that filled in a lot about the times that Upon a Starlit Tide is set in!
Will you be picking up Upon a Starlit Tide?
Have you read Kell Woods other book? Let me know your thoughts? and recommendations? Got any books coming out that you're excited for? I'd love to chat about them!
That cover is stunning!!!! Don't know anything about the book- until now, but the cover is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteWell, an online book club that I am in has selected it, so I will likely be picking it up- it's in too hot demand at the library!
