The Waking World: The Future King #1 by Tom Huddleston
I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS BOOK. I’m so upset that it’s only coming out in the UK right now. Because OMG. A dystopian King Arthur tale? The return of King Arthur is actually a HUGE element in the original story, but I don’t know of very many books that deal with it (AVALON HIGH by Meg Cabot and THE DEATH CATCHERS by Jennifer Anne Kogler come to mind), but THE WAKING WORLD has pirates. PIRATES. I can’t.
I am just basically DYING to read this book. As a huge King Arthur nerd, I am always on the lookout for more books and retellings about him and his world, and this one sounds so legit. Also, the author’s name is ALMOST Tom Hiddleston, and that gets me VERY excited.
THE WAKING WORLD is already available in the UK. No release date for the US, though. *sad face*
I hadn’t heard of this one, but I do love King Arthur books and a dystopian one would be great. I remember loving the Mary Stewart King Arthur books. Great pick!
