I Can’t Wait For…Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear by Seanan McGuire
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about but haven’t yet read. Most of the time they’re books that have yet to be released, but not always. It’s based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme, which was originally hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
This week my Can’t-Wait-For Book is Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear by Seanan McGuire!

Giant turtles, impossible ships, and tidal rivers ridden by a Drowned girl in search of a family in the latest in the bestselling Hugo and Nebula Award-Winning Wayward Children series from Seanan McGuire.
Nadya had three mothers: the one who bore her, the country that poisoned her, and the one who adopted her.
Nadya never considered herself less than whole, not until her adoptive parents fitted her with a prosthetic arm against her will, seeking to replace the one she'd been missing from birth.
It was cumbersome; it was uncomfortable; it was wrong.
It wasn't her.
Frustrated and unable to express why, Nadya began to wander, until the day she fell through a door into Belyrreka, the Land Beneath the Lake--and found herself in a world of water, filled with child-eating amphibians, majestic giant turtles, and impossible ships that sailed as happily beneath the surface as on top. In Belyrreka, she found herself understood for who she was: a Drowned Girl, who had made her way to her real home, accepted by the river and its people.
But even in Belyrreka, there are dangers, and trials, and Nadya would soon find herself fighting to keep hold of everything she had come to treasure.
Does this need a Can’t Wait Wednesday post??? I mean, probably not? If you care about the Wayward Children series, you already know there’ll be a new instalment soon! And if you weren’t sure about the date, it’ll be NEXT WEEK!
I would love to know the thought process behind which characters get books in this series when – since we already saw how Nadya ends up in an earlier book, it’s interesting to me that we’re going to zoom in on her here. But I trust McGuire; I know I’ll enjoy this newest WW adventure!
This seems like a good time to mention that there’s 30 hours left on Kickstarter for the special edition omnibus of the first three Wayward Children books. I’ve backed it, and if you love this series you’ll likely want to too – just look at the illustrations!
A great start to 2025, methinks!
