Just finished The Empire of Gold by S. A. Chakraborty, the final book in The Daevabad Trilogy. I loved the series, a couple more series like this, and I would've to add Chakraborty to my favourite authors list.

Haven't started anything yet, may go with next book in Elly Griffiths' Dr. Ruth Galloway mystery. They are quick and easy to read, and work as good palette cleanser.

So, what have you been reading or listening lately?

The most recent Ant-Man movie had a subplot where Scott Lang had written a book called Look Out For The Little Guy. Marvel actually released it and so I read that. Other than a few moments that were a bit too one the nose as being references to moments in the movies, it was a pretty enjoyable read.

Beyond that, I had paused The Aeronaut’s Windlass by Jim Butcher to read the Ant-Man book, and I should have that finished very soon and on to the novella Warriorborn to get ready for the new book out on the 7th. That said, I’ll probably read Travis Baldree’s Bookshops and Bonedust first since it comes out the same day.

How are you liking Cinder Spires?

Have you read Legends and Lattes? If yes, how did you like it?

Legends and Lattes is great. It’s a fun diversion that works well as a refresher when life is more distracting but you want to keep up a reading habit or when you’ve just gotten off some heavier books.

I’ve now finished the first book and the novella for Cinder Spires. It’s more of an ensemble book and the characters are interesting. But like many ensembles it be a bit frustrating when it jumps between characters at chapters. But the chapters are short.
