Also started Wandering Inn, have read a few chapters, and while interesting, I am not a big fan of the main character. Maybe I have read too many (web) novels that I can't understand when people don't act like typical isekai protagonist, but still...

The world building is interesting, want to know more about what's happening. Will probably try to read at least the first volume and then decide whether I want to continue or not.

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

Speaking of Sanderson, listening to the audiobook of Tress of the Emerald Sea. I haven't read any other Cosmere and wanted to try out a standalone book to see if I liked the worldbuilding. Really liking it so far, even though it's closer to a YA book than what I understand the rest of the series to be.

It does something interesting in the narration, wondering if anyone else has seen this before. It's standard third-person narration to start, and then the narrator is revealed to be someone in the story, and uses first person sometimes when talking about themselves. I couldn't think of any other books I've read that did that, thought it was a cute trick.

Yeah, these standalone books are pretty good, and they take much lighter tone than the usual Cosmere.

You can try different series in Cosmere and read them as standalone. There is one character that makes an appearance in all his books, but other than that each series is kind of standalone.
