Finally got some reading time and finished Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series)!

It's a very quick book, which is kind of ironic for me to say, since I took months to finish it, but finished the last third or so of the book in a single sitting.

There were certain things in the start that I didn't like, but was enjoying the book by the time I finished it. Would love to read more in the series.

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

I just finished the final book in the Throne of Glass series. I didn’t dislike the series overall but it was fairly basic and I was a bit disappointed by how the characters “developed” over the course of the series.

I think the ending of the final book in particular was just not very interesting. There were no twists or hurdles really in the final battle.. random factions appear out of thin air to help in the battle but as a reader you have no idea why you’d care.

I am going to find a one off book to read next as I like to do after a long series. After that, maybe I’ll start Dungeons Crawler Carl.
