Finished The Kingdom of Copper by S. A. Chakraborty, the 2nd book in The Daevabad Trilogy.

Went straight to the sequel, The Empire of Gold, the 3rd and last book in the series.

What about all of you, what have you been reading and listening?

    Still the same - working through The Dark Forest (second in the Three Body Problem series) and also reading Everybody Knows Your Mother Is A Witch, the story of Johannes Keplers mother.

    I recently finished Bad Cree, which was a great spooky story, and a good Halloween read.

      How are you liking Thee Body Problem series? I have heard there is a bit of a slog in the start.

      Just looked up Everybody Knows Your Mother Is a Witch, books looks interesting, going to check it out.

        The first is a slog, but gets better in the last ~third or so. The second has been really interesting, but doesn’t have that hook yet; I’ve had the opportunity to read it faster, but haven’t. It’s interesting enough though that I want to finish the series, so I feel like that says something, especially since it really wasn’t until the very end of the first book that I decided to continue on with book two.

          Yeah, that’s pretty much what everyone say about them. They consider most of the first book to be a slog, but still end up reading the whole series. Guess I must read it too. 😀
