I just finished The Broken Earth trilogy and liked it. The first book was by far my favorite and I felt the third was a bit of a “quick, I need to explain everything” exposition dump at times. Overall the series was interesting though.

I’m now re-reading Project Hail Mary in preparation for the movie. I really liked it the first time so don’t expect this time to be any different!

I read The Fifth Season and am now onto The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin.

The first book was pretty dark and covers some themes I’m not used to reading about (child death from mother’s perspective). I found that a bit shocking but very emotional.

The magic and world building is very interesting and I’m pretty hooked. I think the first book is better so far but will see how it ends in the third one!

I am re-reading the Expanse series - currently on Nemesis Games.

Love these books - I want to rewatch the show now. I have all the actors / actresses in my head as I read :)

I just finished reading the series The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee. Overall I liked the series - it was more of a business drama / political family drama with a sprinkling of fantasy. I thought the final book was more of an extended epilogue, with frequent time jumps. I found it a bit difficult to reconcile the rapid aging of characters I still felt were young.

I am now reading Blood over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang at the recommendation of my wife. I have really loved this one - it’s been very interesting even though it has been a tiny bit predictable.

After that, I’m debating rereading The Expanse as I really loved it.

I recently finished Isles of the Emberdark which is the latest novel by Brandon Sanderson 😁. Really loved it - tons of Cosmere crossover and some interesting setup for the future.

I also have recently read A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab. Enjoyed this a lot and am now onto the second in the series, A Gathering of Shadows.
