    On my Kindle, I just finished re-reading Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut for the first time in probably 15 years. Helluva book, and reading it as a teenager certainly changed the heading of my moral compass. Still deciding what to read next.

    I’ve also been re-reading my paper copy of This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. It warms my gay little heart.

    I just finished Waybound by Will Wight and enjoyed the series finale! I’ve also been working my way through the Malazan book of the Fallen, I’m on book 4 House of Chains

    (Audiobooks) I’ve recently finished book 2 of the Mistborn series - The Well of Ascension. Otherwise i’m trying to get myself through book 2 of the Temeraire series - Throne of Jade. I’m torn, it may be that the narrator is killing it for me, or there’s just not enough action for a dragon based story.

      Mistborn is such a good series!

      I mostly prefer to read over audiobooks as my head narrator is often a lot better than audiobooks narrators.

    I’m currently halfway through The Last Echo of the Lord of Bells by John Bierce, as well as procrastinating starting Waybound by Will Wight. Progression Fantasy is my thing right now.

      I love the idea of progression fantasy I generally enjoy it in different mediums like web novels or Manhua, I’ve read a couple series I believe could be considered PF like The Demon Accords, Cycle of Arawn, etc… and thoroughly enjoyed them. Do you have any recommendations for some series to read through?

        Honestly the only two progression fantasy series that I can recommend are Cradle by Will Wight, and The Immortal Great Souls by Phil Tucker.

        Warformed: Stormweaver is also great, but only the first book, Iron Prince, is out.

    What is your opinion on the wheel of time? I’m reading it currently, crown of swords I think. I really enjoy it, but at times I feel like there are some random plot twists haha

      Most of the plot twists pan out, they’re not just tossed in there!

      Honestly, I read up to the 9th or 10th book when they were relatively newly released, never got around to finishing the series. I’m on my second read of the series and I’m around where I stopped last time, and I wish I had made it through the first time.

    Just starting with Malazan, and finished up Gardens of the Moon a couple of days ago. Overall was pretty enjoyable, but it certainly shows that I’m out of practice with high fantasy worlds. Lots of unfamilar names that left me checking the cast list regularly.

    Really looking forward to more info on the warrens that I’m hopeful will come in later books. While I get the impression the same cast won’t be back for the whole series, I hope to see more of the Bridgeburners as well!

      I have tried malazan so many times and just can’t get through the first book. Idk what it is, I just can’t seem to finish it. I’ve even tried the audio book, I think it’s just a style thing

      There’s a couple books I’ve read where I’ve had to have two book marks, one for my place, and one for the index so I can figure out wtf is going on and who these people even are. I’ve enjoyed those books, but it’s always an exercise in patience.
