It's a fantastic series.
@Charlton Just finished Defiant! I love Sanderson 😂
I just started Yumi and I’m so excited
I just finished Bookshops & Bonedust, which is my last read of 2023. It was good, but I did like Legends & Lattes a little more.Now I've started System Collapse.
The books I finished in December. Not including, Beautiful Ruins, which was a DNF for me.Yumi and the Nightmare Painter ★★★★★
Saga, Volume 11 ★★★★★
Bookshops & Bonedust ★★★★
And I'm starting off the year with The Fragile Threads of Power.
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Just finished System Collapse. It was eh. Going to start Mislaid in Parts Half-Known as soon as it comes out.
Just finished “I’d Rather be Reading” by Anne Bogel. And i am 70% through Well of Ascension. I consider myself a Hobbling. But i am truly loving Sanderson’s works.
I finished Leviathan Wakes last night. It was an intense ride. I'm looking forward to following more of this series this year.
Just finished One Dark Window!!! Super good! But then I started the sequel and I have not been loving it...
Here's what I finished in January.System Collapse ★★★
Leviathan Wakes ★★★★★
Mislaid in Parts Half-Known ★★★★

I think the only book I actually finished in January was Dust of Dreams. ★★★★But now, having finished The Crippled God last week, I'm finally finished with Malazan after a mere five months.
I followed it up with a couple issues of New Edge Sword & Sorcery Magazine, and have now started Ann Leckie's Translation State
I’m on the second book of the Lunar Chronicles and oh my the cliff hanger ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
And now for something completely different: A Winter Pilgrimage: Being an Account of Travels through Palestine, Italy, and the Island of Cyprus, accomplished in the Year 1900.
I started That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon. Also been reading Esrahaddon, which is huge and heavy, but good so far.
Started The Book of Ile-Rien: The Element of Fire & The Death of the Necromancer, Martha Wells' new collection of two of her very early novels.
I finished a couple books in February. Both were good. The Fragile Threads of Power ★★★★
Such a Fun Age ★★★★
After those many months of nothing but Malazan, I had a very busy February:The Crippled God ★★★★
New Edge Sword & Sorcery Magazine: Issue #1 ★★★★
New Edge Sword & Sorcery Magazine: Issue #2 ★★★★
Translation State ★★★★
A Winter Pilgrimage: Being an Account of Travels through Palestine, Italy, and the Island of Cyprus, accomplished in the Year 1900 ★★★
Lysbeth A Tale Of The Dutch ★★★★
Pearl-Maiden: A Tale of the Fall of Jerusalem ★★★★
I finished That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon. Not really my thing, but it was still a fun romp. My mood is erratic right now, so reading a historical fiction: Daughter of Moloka'i.
I finished The Book of Ile-Rien: The Element of Fire & The Death of the Necromancer and started The Earth is Flat: Tales from the Flat Earth and Elsewhere, a recent collection of Tanith Lee's heretofore uncollected Flat Earth stories.
I finished Caliban's War last night. Really loving this series so far. Now, I don't know if it's worth it to read the novellas or not, but regardless I'm going to start Gods of Risk next.

The Bonehunters ★★★★☆
and I immediately followed it up with Reaper's Gale, which I didn't finish until today. (And am now a bit of a way into Toll the Hounds.)
