An exciting look into what's t come in the future. Great stories with lots of potential. Can't wait for the rest of the story

This was such an amazing teaser from Bloomsbury whom I'm so thankful that they sent me this sampler from Comic Con. I'm a huge fan of the two authors that were featured in this sampler which were Sarah J. Maas and Brigid Kemmerer. If I remember correctly, this book featured the House of Earth and Blood sampler which was one of the most anticipated books of 2020. I was so into the first chapter I got that I know that this book was going to be amazing. Brigid Kemmerer also released a sample of her third and final book in the Cursebreakers trilogy which I was happy to check out. I haven't read the second book but being a little spoiled doesn't matter.

This was a great teaser! Really had me looking forward to all the titles included, especially the Brigid Kemmerer!

A sampler of upcoming novels in 2020 (sorry im late!) I have got most of these on my TBR (and a few already read) - thanks for giving a little insight into whats out there.

This should be something mandatory.
It wasn’t anything new really but it made the waiting less painful 😅

A really great teaser of things to come. Very much enjoyed the selection of chapters chosen and the sampler does a fantastic job of showing the varied examples of books coming out within the fantasy genre. I also appreciated that they included a sample of the first Sarah J Maas book despite the fact that the book coming out is actually later in the series because it allows new readers to get into the world and avoid spoilers.
Disclaimer: I work for Bloomsbury Publishing Plc but I do not read these as part of my job and all opinions are my own.

Fantasy Titles from Bloomsbury 2020 has excerpts from A Vow so Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer, A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas, We Are Bound by Stars by Kesia Lupo, The Mask Falling by Samantha Shannon, Dark Art by Steve Feasey and Piranesi by Susanna Clarke.
Most of these extracts are from book 2 onwards in a series, and you would need to have read the previous book/s in order to make sense of what is happening!
A Vow so Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer is the final book in the Cursebreakers series. In two months time, Grey is going to attack Emberfall. We see some of both sides. I felt quite lost with all of the characters, so you do need to have read the previous books!
I've reviewed A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas before, so you can read that review here . This was in the book as the fourth book is due out on 16th February 2021 (in the US at least!).
We Are Bound by Stars by Kesia Lupo is book 2 in the We Are Blood and Thunder series. This is a YA fantasy series, set on an island where Beatrice is a conduit for the wishes of a god. Livio is the first male rules in centuries, but his magic is out of control.
The Mask Falling by Samantha Shannon is the fourth book in the Bone Season series. This was another book where I could tell how much I didn't know! It's set in 2060, and Paige is on the run, and having flash backs to being held.
Dark Art by Steve Feasey is the second book in the Whispers of the Gods series, and is a fantasy book. Kelewulf is in search of an artefact, the heart of a god. Lann is struggling to keep control of the Dreadblade.
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is set in an infinite labyrinth, with few characters, and odd happenings in the labyrinth. This is a book I've heard a lot about, and would need to read the full book!
I was given these excepts in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Bloomsbury.

A good mix of samples of good books. I've all ready read 2 of them and I will deffently add the others to my TBR list.

A great sampler that has left me even more excited for a vow so bold and deadly, was slightly disappointed that the sampler was for a court of thorns and roses as I had hoped it would have been for A Court Of Silver Flames.

A truly great collection and enthralling and captivating tease. Loved re-reading some old favourites and getting a taster of the other fantasy reads. Highly recommend to those wanting to sample an amazing collection of fantasy samples.
Thank you so much NetGalley and Bloomsbury for the arc.

There are so many exciting books to be looking forward to next year, I have added a couple to my to be read list.

I'm really excited for the release of some of the books included in the sampler, particularly A Vow So Bold and Deadly.

I was disappointed that A Court of Thorns and Rose's is included in the sampler considering that it was released in 2015. I would have been so much more enthusiastic if it included an excerpt of A Court of Silver Flames. It seems as if we have been waiting for ACOSF for so long especially since it was teased at the end of A Court of Frost and Starlight all the way back in 2018.

I very much enjoyed this sampler of Bloomsbury fantasy titles - looks like there are some great books to look forward to.

I was a little bummed when I saw that this was A Court of Thorns and Roses, but that is okay! I liked reading it again. I absolutely cannot wait to read the full version of Bridgid's A Vow So Bold and Deadly. She never disappoints, so I know this book will be AWESOME.
I was given an advanced reader's copy via NetGalley and Berkley, thank you to them. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Great preview of Bloomsbury’s most exciting upcoming titles. I am unbelievably hyped for new Sarah J. Maas and Samantha Shannon at the start of 2021. What a way to kick off the year!

It was really fun reading this sampler of Bloomsbury books. I particularly enjoyed the Vow So Bold & Deadly chapters. I can't wait to read more of this book as I have love the series so far. I cannot guess what will happen next!

This sampler has made me SO excited about Bloomsbury's fantasy books and I cannot wait to start reading! My tbr pile just got a whole lot bigger!

Thank you Bloomsbury Publishing and NetGalley for providing me an e-arc in exchange for an honest review. My review is my own and not influenced by others.
I got the opportunity to read this sampler of some great books which are to be published in 2021. There were some books on it which made me very curious and I enjoyed reading this sampler to get to know these books.

A brilliant sampler of upcoming books with some amazing novels, that has meant I've added a few books onto my TBR list. Nice way of getting to see some upcoming titles.
