Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #423: Tread of Angels by Rebecca Roanhorse

 

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the publisher:

 Celeste, a card sharp with a need for justice, takes on the role of advocatus diaboli, to defend her sister Mariel, accused of murdering a Virtue, a member of the ruling class of this mining town, in a new world of dark fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of Black Sun, Rebecca Roanhorse.

The year is 1883 and the mining town of Goetia is booming as prospectors from near and far come to mine the powerful new element Divinity from the high mountains of Colorado with the help of the pariahs of society known as the Fallen. The Fallen are the descendants of demonkind living amongst the Virtues, the winners in an ancient war, with the descendants of both sides choosing to live alongside Abaddon’s mountain in this tale of the mythological West from the bestselling mastermind Rebecca Roanhorse.

Tread of Angels by Rebecca Roanhorse is expected out November 15th, 2022 from Gallery Books.

Why am I waiting on this book? I like weird westerns. This looks like a mashup of a western with a fantasy which falls under the weird western umbrella. It looks interesting to me. I haven't read one that sounds like it before. You can read the first chapter here: https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/rebecca-roanhorse-tread-of-angels-cover-excerpt
