Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #473: The Eight Reindeer of the Apocalypse by Tom Holt

 


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:


Tom Holt’s brilliantly funny new novel set in the world of The Portable Door (now a delightful movie starring Patrick Gibson, Sophie Wilde, and Christoph Waltz).

The team of commercial sorcerers at Dawson, Ahriman & Dawson can help with any metaphysical engineering project, large or small (though by definition they all tend to be pretty large).
 
They can also create massive great puddles of chaos that might one day swallow up the entire universe.
 
Take, for example, the decision to recruit a certain bearded fellow whose previous work experience mainly involves reindeer and jingle bells. It might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but is he really the best person to save the world from Tiamat the Destroyer, who has literally gone ballistic? 

Why am I waiting on this book? I love a good humorous book. This sounds like it could be one. It reminds me a little of something Christopher Moore might have written. I haven't read anything else by Tom Holt yet, nor have I seen The Portable Door. He is definitely on my TBR list though.

The Eight Reindeer of the Apocalypse by Tom Holt is expected out October 10, 2023 from Orbit Books.

What book are you waiting on this week? Share it or a link in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our TBR lists. Thanks for coming by and Happy Reading!

    1. It just reminded me a little of The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore as in it is offbeat, funny, and involving Christmas icons. Thanks for coming by and hope you enjoy it if you check it out!
