So what are you reading this year 2021?

[Richards]

I finished Firefly: Life Signs and it was the best of the three I've read thus far, but I also discovered two others have been published that got past me somehow - I'll have to keep my eyes out for those. In the meantime, I'm about to start Interworld, a story that crosses multiple different universes. It's a Young Adult novel, which would normally make me a bit leery, but in this case I think I need not worry: it was written by Neil Gaiman and Michael Reeves, two authors whose solo works I've really enjoyed.

I enjoyed the first Interworld.

Not exactly of superior / and or lasting artistic merit, but just plain dang fun to read!

Had to put down Gardens of the Moon, the first Malazan Book of the Fallen. Just wasn't capturing me. Since then I've dived into Six of Crows, from the Summer Reading List thread (D&D General - Nominations for the ENWorld Summer Reading List)

 

[Zardnaar]

Started book 5/6 War of the Spider Quuen. Annihilation iirc.

Voices From The Sky by Arthur C Clarke, mostly non-fiction essays about space.

 

[Khelon Testudo]

I recently read Fifth Season by NK Jemesin. It is rather intense, and an examination of justified repressed rage. And even when justified, the results of giving in to that rage are always harmful.

Finished Shadows of the Self, by...that guy. Mistborn. I didn't realize that it was #2 in a sequal trilogy to the original trilogy, so while it was fairly engaging, there were clearly Important Characters that did nothing, and lots of unanswered questions/backstory. Also, I remember the magic system but not the religion, so I gotta reread Mistborn now. Or soon. When I find it.

Great series!

Alloy of Law is the first in that second series (called Mistborn Era 2 by us fans). Like the first book of the original trilogy, it stands up on its own, while working to allow a series to develop after, so a lot of the new characters are introduced in Alloy of Law. The religion in Era 2 though is wholly new, and you won't find it in Mistborn. Not that I would discourage you from rereading it! It's wonderful, and I need to read it again too.

The first one is better value, includes second linked novella as well as other great stuff.

You shouldn't read Secret History until you've finished the first 3 though - spoilers.

There's always another secret...
