Read Turn Coat, book 11 of the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.

Another bad people/creatures/whatever doing bad stuff with magic, while Dresden stops them, while getting completely beat up book. I don’t mean that as a bad thing though. That’s why I read the books!

This had some interesting world-building stuff, with some new stuff in over-arching story. Also read the short story that takes place after the book (in the anthology Side Jobs), an interesting look at the relationship between Harry and Murphy.

Currently reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn. Just started it, so don’t have much to say about it yet.

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

    I really wanted to like Between Two Fires but you do need a tolerance for a certain level of Christian messaging. And not, “be nice to people and help the poor” messaging.

    If you’re the type that liked Left Behind and would be okay with a grimdark fantasy series it’s for you, otherwise it’s a bit obnoxious.

      Yeah, I’d agree with that (although idk what Left Behind is). There was some level of criticism of Christianity throughout most of it, but the end sort of… yeah.
