Wyrd & Wonder 2025 - Top Ten Tuesday: Upcoming Fantasy Books I'm Looking Forward To

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.  All this month I'm featuring fantasy in honor of Wyrd & Wonder 2025 (a month long celebration of all things fantasy co-hosted by Lisa @ Dear Geek Place, imyril @ There’s Always Room For One More, Ariana @ The Book Nook, Annemieke @ A Dance With Books, and Jorie @ Jorie Loves A Story with artwork by Yuri Arcurs Photography).  This week's topic is Animal Companions (These animals can be real or fantasy!) (submitted by P.S. I Love Books). but in honor of the final week of Wyrd & Wonder I'm featuring some Upcoming Fantasy Books I'm Looking Forward To.  Without further ado, here we go in order by release date:

Lady's Knight by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner - Release date: June 3rd, 2025 - These two authors make a great team and I like the sound of A Knight's Tale meets the Lady Jane series.

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab - Release date: June 10th, 2025 - V.E. Schwab is one of my all time favorite authors so of course this is my most anticipated release!

A Master of Monsters (A Mastery of Monsters #1) by Liselle Sambury - Release date: July 29th, 2025: A YA dark academia fantasy series opener that has been compared to both Ninth House and Legendborn.  Those two are a couple of my favorites so I hope I'll like this.  Plus, I've liked what I've read from this author in the past.

Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher - Release date: August 19th, 2025 - T. Kingfisher is one of my favorite authors and this is her dark retelling of Snow White, so I can't wait!

The Good Vampire's Guide to Blood and Vampires by Jamie D'Amato - Release date: August 26th, 2025 - Honestly, this just sounds like delightful fun.  It's been compared to both Heartstopper and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Katabasis by R.F. Kuang - Release date: August 26th, 2025 - Kuang is another one of my favorites, and I think this one sounds like it could be a favorite.

The Maiden and Her Monster by Maddie Martinez - Release date: September 9th, 2025 - This sounds like it will be a fantastic reimagining of Jewish folklore.  It has been described as for fans of Katherine Arden, so I'm looking forward to it.

I Killed the King by Rebecca Mix and Andrea Hannah - Release date: September 16th, 2025 - Okay, this sounds cool - YA fantasy mystery sounds pretty cool.  Plus, it's getting compared to One of Us is Lying and Knives Out and I like both of us, especially Knives Out.

Brigands & Breadknives (Legends & Lattes #2) by Travis Baldree - Release date: November 11th, 2025  - I don't know if I can express how excited I am to return to this world!

The Spell For Unravelling (The Buried and the Bound #3) by Rochelle Hassan - Release date: April 28th, 2026- I don't know how I'll be able to wait for so long for this finale!  Both book one and two were amazing - and totally hidden gems - so my expectations are sky high for this one!
