Most
Anticipated
Releases for
2021
BY ROSIE WEDGE
I’m sure I speak for most of us when I say I was so ready for 2020 to end! Like me, I’m
sure you too are welcoming 2021 with open arms. One of my main reasons is because
of all the incredible books set to be released this year. In 2020, I made more of an
effort to keep on track of new and upcoming releases (whilst also working through a
huge back log of “must reads”). I thought I’d share with you my top 4 most anticipated
releases for 2021, so you can keep an eye out for them, as they all sound incredible!
1. LORE BY
ALEXANDRA BRACKEN
(5th January 2021)
This is possibly my most anticipated
of all these books, and I’m relieved
it’s out so early in the year. Based on
Greek mythology, Lore follows our
main character, Lore Perseous after
she flees the brutal world in which
the Agon has again begun, and nine
Greek gods have been forced to walk
the earth as mortals as punishment
for their rebellion. In this world,
descendants of ancient bloodlines
are out to kill these gods in the hopes
of seizing their immortality and
power. However, when this conflict
begins to spread over New York City,
and the man that killed her family
has managed to become a god, she
teams up with a childhood friend and
original goddess Athena to try and
take down their mutual enemy, and
turn their backs on the Agon for good.
Now, if that doesn’t sound amazing to
you, then I really don’t know what will!
