There are so many good books coming out in 2021 so I've decided to break my list down by season. In this list, I have my Winter 2021 anticipated books (which includes the months of January and February).
JANUARY
1. Lore by Alexandra Bracken ~ January 5, 2021
Lore by Alexandra Bracken is marketed as a Greek mythological Hunger Games where the descendants of Greek heroes try and kill the Ancient Greek Gods. I've already read several reviews of this book and they're very positive so I am excited for it!
2. Blood, Metal, Bone by Lindsay Cummings ~ January 7, 2021
This is pitched as The Mandalorian meets Six of Crows and Throne of Glass. Also, I've read that it's a sort of mix between fantasy and medieval fantasy which sounds so cool!
3. We Free the Stars by Hafsah Faizal ~ January 19, 2021
We Hunt the Flame is one of my favorite books and I have been highly anticipating this sequel! Especially since the first book ended on a cliffhanger.
4. Tarnished Empire by Danielle L. Jensen ~ January 26, 2021
This is the prequel to the Dark Shores series, about Marcus before the events of Dark Shores. Marcus was one of my favorite characters in the series so I am excited to see what happened to him before those events.
5. City of Villains by Estelle Laure ~ January 26, 2021
City of Villains is pitched as Disney Villains meets Gotham and tells the stories of Disney villains before they became villains which is such a good concept.
FEBRUARY
1. Muse by Brittany Cavallaro ~ February 2, 2021
Muse is set in an alternate American reality where there's a monarchy which is a super interesting concept. It's also set at the World's Fair which sounds really cool.
2. The Afterlife of the Party by Marlene Perez ~ February 2, 2021
This is apparently a twist on the typical vampire book which focuses more on female friendships! Honestly, I love that vampire themed books are coming back into style.
3. Liberte by Gita Trelease ~ February 2, 2021
Liberte is the sequel to Enchante. I honestly thought Enchante was a standalone but I am excited to see what else happens in this series.
4. The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna ~ February 9, 2021
This is titled as a West African inspired own-voices Fantasy that is also compared to Black Panther, which just sounds so cool!
5. The Girl from Shadow Springs by Ellie Cypher ~ February 9, 2021
Apparently this is a Snow Queen retelling that is Western themed, set against a frozen-snowy backdrop.
6. A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttleworth ~ February 26, 2021
This is described as The Cruel Prince meets The Mortal Instruments with faeries and murder. Also, it takes place in modern-day like those books which I love.
Are any of these books on your anticipated lists for 2020?
