Finished The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson. Book 1 of 2nd era of Mistborn. This was a very interesting book. Set about 300 years after the first era. The changes in the world, and to learn about some of the characters, it was all very interesting, and I am very glad that I re-read the first era before reading this.

Finished Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. The book was surprisingly good. I quite enjoyed it, and it didn't even feel old.

My kid is already on book 5. So, highly recommended your for your 9-12 year olds.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Yes! The Licanius Trilogy is one of my all time favorites. Partially it just hit me at the right time, but I also think it has a lot to offer on its own. It might not be the most original series at times, and there is a particularly odd part near the end of the series that felt underdeveloped, but overall I love the world, characters, and story. Definitely one of my favorite endings for a fantasy series too.
