Last I saw he was projecting late 2024, if I remember right.
This is my answer to the topic question too. I read books 1 and 2 as they came out and I'd need to re-read everything from start to finish to properly get back into the series. I've been waiting for the release of book 5 to be close before I start that re-read. Assuming no further delays, I can start next summer.
It actually just came out last week, but I'm very much looking forward to Dungeon Crawler Carl #6: The Eye of the Bedlam Bride. I'm not usually into LitRPG but the first books in this series have been an awesome ride and the audio books bring an extra (hilarious) dimension.
Next books in The Weirkey Chronicles by Sarah Lin and Manifestation by Samuel Hinton. And hopefully the second book in The Last Horizon series by Will Wight will release by the end of this year too.
Cassiel's Servant, by Jacqueline Carey. It's Kushiel's Dart, as told from Joscelin's pov. Out in August.
It got delayed, because the author lost her parents and covid hit and such things did a number on her life. I saw a recent author photo, and she lost one hell of a lot of weight, in a bad way.
Murtagh, by Christopher Paolini the next book in the world of Alagaësia. A world I really enjoy to read in. So more books and seeing more of that world is something I always am happy about.
Looking forward to Alecto the Ninth's release. Loved Gideon when it came out, and have purchased Harrow and Nina, but decided to wait until the final book was out to finish reading the whole series.
I just picked up The Traitor by Anthony Ryan (release the other day). So far I really like the Covenant of Steel series. So I can't wait for the next installment after this.
Also the next Dresden book is always on my must have list.
Not much is exciting me being released this year tbh. I'll be interested to see what people bring up in here.
I tried to read The Captain by Will Wight and bounced off that one hard. Turns out Will Wight is not for me. Brandon Sanderson isn't my jam either so no hype there for his "secret projects" being released.
I'll be reading the Legends and Latte's prequel but I'm only doing that to check off the 2023 square on my book bingo (I'd be more excited if it wasn't a prequel).
Well let's see. I just finished Red Sister by Mark Lawrence and overall I really liked it, I'll keep going with the series, but probably not right away. It was solid but the pacing was a little off in a way that wore me down as the book went on.
Justice of Kings by Richard Swan was real good. Kinda Sherlock Holmes meets Judge Dredd meets Witchfinder General vibe going on. Very cool.
Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison was quite nice, though never really peaked for me, it just kind of unfurled pleasantly then ended too abruptly. Still, good for an easy, cozy read.
Also The City We Became by NK Jemesin was weird and fun but again meandered a bit in the middle until it was pretty much finished.
