5 New Releases of November 2020

So, firstly, I just have a little announcement to make. I've decided to shorten these new release posts to 5 books instead of 10 because of how busy I am. When I started this blog during summer, I was much freer and was able to do 10, but as I am a student in school, I have significantly less time for my blog posts now.

Now for the fun part! The new books! I'm actually really excited about the books for this month; there's a lot of good ones, and I picked the ones that everyone seems to be talking about and the ones that seemed the most interesting. Without further ado, let's get into it!

Master of One by Jaida Jones & Dani Bennett

Nov 10, 2020

Master of One has been marketed as Six of Crows meets The Cruel Prince and I LOVE both of those series, so I'll definitely be reading this one. If it's anywhere near as creative as Six of Crows, I know it'll be great. This book is about Rags, a master thief, who is caught thieving by the Queensguard and is forced to find an ancient relic. But he never would've guessed that this "relic" is actually a person, and a very handsome one at that. Well, I'll leave you to decide whether to read this one or not. (I vote yes!)

The Camelot Betrayal by Kiersten White

Nov 10, 2020

The Camelot Betrayal is the second book of the Camelot Rising series. The first one is called The Guinevere Deception. I haven't read this series, but it does sound really interesting, so I'm thinking about picking it up sometime. Anyway, in this second installment, everything is perfect in Camelot, except for Guinevere. She is plagued with visions and dreams of power, and always feels like she doesn't belong. She is left to wonder if she even has a real place there, and then suddenly, Guinevere is faced with a new threat: her younger sister at Camelot.

These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong

Nov 17, 2020

Now this one is no doubt the release that I'm most excited about. Not to mention the absolutely stunning cover. Dragons, swords, and roses. A perfect combination. These Violent Delights is a Romeo and Juliet retelling that's set in 1920's Shanghai. It features rival gangs (just like the Capulets and Montagues) and a fierce river monster. I assume that's where the dragon comes in. Juliette is the heir of the Scarlet Gang, and Roma leads the rival gang, the White Flowers. When rumors of a monster surface, these leaders will have to work together (and hopefully fall in love). I've read Romeo and Juliet and I'm really curious to see what elements Gong chooses to keep from the orginal story. I definitely want to see how this plays out.

How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by Holly Black, illustrated by Rovina Cai

Nov 24, 2020

I realize that this probably shouldn't be counted as a real book, but I wanted to include it since everyone is so excited about this. How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories is a illustrated collection of stories from Cardan's point of view. It includes details of his life from before The Cruel Prince, after The Queen of Nothing, and moments from the trilogy, told from his perspective. I haven't actually finished the Folk of the Air Trilogy yet; I've only read the first book, so sadly I won't be reading this. I did really love The Cruel Prince, though, and once I finish the series, hopefully I'll get to this! The illustrations are going to be gorgeous, so if you're a collector and you love this series, this is perfect for you!

Ruinsong by Julia Ember

Nov 24, 2020

Ruinsong is a beautful WLW romance with two girls from rival factions who have to work together to save their country. In this fantasy, song is magic, and Cadence has been focred to use her song to torture people at her Queen's command. But when she is reunited with a childhood friend, she must make a choice: to free her country from opression or to follow in the Queen's footsteps. Needless to say, this has a very interesting premise and I'm curious enough to read it.
