Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about but haven’t yet read. Most of the time they’re books that have yet to be released, but not always. It’s based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme, which was originally hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
This week my Can’t-Wait-For is Second Spear by Kerstin Hall!
Genres: Fantasy
Published on: 16th August 2022

The thrilling follow-up to Nommo Award finalist The Border Keeper
After surviving the schemes of the goddess Fanieq and learning some shattering truths about her former life, the warrior Tyn feels estranged from her role guarding her ruler. Grappling with knowledge of her identity, she unleashes her frustrations on all the wrong people.
When an old enemy returns wielding an unstoppable, realm-crushing weapon, Tyn is swept up in the path of destruction.
If you haven’t read the incredibly strange (and just plain incredible!) Border Keeper by Kerstin Hall, well, you have time to do just that before we get the sequel in August!
I’m so excited to return to the fascinating, intricate world (worlds?) Hall created in Border Keeper – I love it when Fantasy pulls no punches and goes full-on weird and wonderful, magical and alien and intoxicating, and that’s exactly what Border was. But Border followed a character who was an outsider to it all, whereas Second Spear is Tyn’s story – a native of the realms. I can’t wait to see what Tyn’s world looks like to her!
And Tyn herself is a really interesting character – I won’t say why, in case you haven’t read Border get, but suffice to say I definitely want to know more about her, and the process by which she got where she is…
I’ve had his preordered for ages – and so should you!
