Most Anticipated Book Releases of 2021 (Fantasy)
Bookworms, bookworms!
It’s time for the anticipated fantasy books this time around because they deserve their own place in this world and I need to stay sane. So, here’s another list for the most anticipated book releases of 2021. I think, on this list, there’s only one sequel? And I am still anticipating it because I am very interested to start reading the first book in the series and so I am including it. I can have this one sequel, as a treat.
So, here are the fantasy releases that excite me to bits and pieces! Mind you, these are mostly covering half the year as the rest of the list for the other half of the year might come later with some solid-ish release dates. So, yay for another post to look forward to in future!
Let’s go!

All the release dates are probably tentative unless the publishing company has stated so firmly, so take these with a grain of salt or to be safe, take two grains of salt. Are there any releases that you are excited for but aren’t on the list? Tell me about them!
P. S. All books are GoodReads linked if you care to add them to your tbr list or if you want to read the synopsis to see if tickles your fancy.
*- So it turns out that this book released in January itself. When I made the list, it was projected as a March release. Oh, well. As I said, take the release dates with a grain salt.
