Reading Fated by Benedict Jacka, first book in his urban fantasy series Alex Verus.

It is interesting to see how different Alex is from Dresden, both are very different kind of mages, though both have their own issues with their respective councils.

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

Read "The Library at Mount Char" by Scott Hawkins. It was wild and I really enjoyed reading it, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it widely due to some of the content. Weirdly twisted and dark, brilliant but also somewhat conveniently plotted. Almost too convenient at points.

That book is a fucking rollercoaster that just keeps going every time you think it’s wrapped up a part of the plot.
