Recently experienced struggles of gods & men in Iraden, in The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie. It shared some of the characteristics of the Radch books: gender ambiguities, a distinctive narrative voice, and considerable confusion about what's happening, on the part of both the characters and the reader. I generally dislike 2nd person narratives, but she pulls it off, and it does fit the situation. The scenario & its premises use some familiar tropes to produce an original world & story. I don't think it's quite as good a fantasy as the Radch books are in SF; but that leaves a lot of space for being quite good.

I'm still in Inys with Ead, Loth and Sabran in The Priory of the Orange Tree. I started this 800 page book with the intent of getting through the tense US election, and I am reading it as slowly as I can.

I'm back in the world of Threads that bind, this time in book #2, Hearts that cut. Where the first book took place in one city, this book travels to many other places.

I just finished Oathbringer. Definitely more sloggy than the first two, although the usual "Sanderlanche" at the end mostly made up for it. I'm on to Rhythm of War.

>6 drmamm: I just finished Oathbringer and agree. The ending made it worth it but it could've used some editing.
Though I'm taking a Cosmere break and off to Discworld next to meet with some Lords and Ladies.

Just left the Northern Kingdom and the Harbor Kingdom, rereading Nettle and bone. I like reading hardcopy so much better than e-books.

One of my primary comfort reads is Tolkien. Hence I've been in Middle-earth the last several days, first following Bilbo in The Hobbit, and have now gotten to Tom Bombadil's house in Fellowship of the Ring.

I am In City of Blades, with dead gods and those who want to resurrect them.

I'm still reading LOTR, but have also started a reread of The Sandman by Neil Gaiman, in the 10-book trade edition I bought a few years back. Although I've recommended it to people a number of times, it's my first reread. I'd forgotten just how good it is!

The book «The Princess and the Golden Dragon’s Eggs», written by Elena Ponomareva, is a fascinating tale about a young woman who is not afraid to challenge fate. The story follows the adventures of Lariné, a princess of the constellation of the Golden Dragon, who has lost her father and is now faced with a difficult choice between marriage with a cyborg or execution during a coup.
Lariné is an adventurer, researcher and princess. She is used to a carefree life, but everything changes when her father disappears and her people do not accept her as their ruler. Now her fate is unenviable: she must either marry a cyborg or be executed during the overthrow of power. But Lariné, like a true adventurer, chooses a third option.
One of the most striking aspects of this book is its ability to create a sense of atmosphere and tension. The reader is drawn into the protagonist's world and experiences her emotions and struggles. The use of descriptive language and vivid imagery helps to bring the story to life and create a more immersive experience.
Another strength of the book is its exploration of themes such as identity, survival, and the struggle for freedom. These themes are universal and relatable, making the story accessible to a wide audience.
«The Princess and the Golden Dragon's Eggs» is a well-written and engaging book that is sure to appeal to fans of fantasy literature. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the human spirit's ability to overcome even the darkest of circumstances.
In conclusion, «The Princess and the Golden Dragon's Eggs» is an excellent example of modern fantasy literature. With its captivating plot, memorable characters and exploration of universal themes, it is a book that will leave a lasting impression on readers. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good adventure story.

I just left Rhode Island and a lovely wedding after spending the day in London with Whimbrel House book 3 Boy of Chaotic Making.
