  • Currently I have Equal Rites, by Terry Pratchett on my night stand. Satire fantasy (I think). Quickly read the first two paragraphs but other than that haven’t started it yet. I enjoyed Color of Magic and Light Fantastic so looking forward to a new character lead to see how this plays out.

    I listening to The Stars, Like Dust by Issac Asimov. It seems interesting about a son who’s dad was charged with treason against the galactic Empire. I’m not fully invested as I was with The Currents of Space. But I’ll see how the story pans out.





  • I’m currently working on two books. The first is Gunmetal Gods by Zamil Akhtar. The genre is Epic fantasy, it is very fast paced like break neck which is both good and bad. On one had something is always happening on the other I have no time to digest the content. I’d say it’s entertaining but wouldn’t say it’s amazing at the moment. If you like quick popcorn style books go ahead you may enjoy it.

    The second book I’m listening to is Restaurant at the End of the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, genre is Scifi satire comedy. We’ve all heard about Hitchhiker’s and it’s sequels I’m just finally working through the books. I recommend it but the author’s humor seems jaded which is perfect for me lol.






  • This one is weird for me, I wasn’t drawn into this book as quick as Tress. The world wasn’t as interesting to me as some of his other works. It took me until chapter 28 to finally be invested in the characters (Early Yumi was a Karen imo, and I really don’t like her).

    Early book I was only interested in Nikiro’s world the city in eternal darkowas really cool. It kind of puts a damper in my reading experience when 1/2 the pov’s take place in an uninteresting world (Yumi’s, for me was just meh).

    I watched “Your Name” with my gf before I started Yumi and the whole time I was like this is a body swap like that. Pretty surprised about it being one of his inspirations I didn’t think Sando watched anime for some reason.

    Overall, I give it a 2.5/5 it was okay worth a read for the Cosmere connections but I won’t reread it anytime soon if at all. Better than RoW and Lost Metal but weaker than Emperor’s Soul and Tress. Compared to the other secret projects it’s the middle book so far. Tress>Yumi>Wizard.
