I have been reading some one-offs since finishing the Throne of Glass series.
I read Circe by Madeline Miller which I thought was excellent and a great read overall. I just got back from watching The Odyssey and immediately thought about the different ways creatives the characters in this classic story are portrayed in the books and adaptations.
I also finished The Memory Collectors by Dete Meserve. This was a neat sci-fi/cozy/mystery that had was a fun read, a bit thrilling at times, and overall a bit comforting.
I’m now reading Theo of Golden which seems to so far be another cozy fiction.
I’d say none of those are quite my style but I’m having fun. I like to take a break between longer series to read friend recommendations.
I’m thinking of re-reading the Silo series next because I don’t know what I’m watching on the show. I don’t dislike the show but it all feels way off from what I remember so I figured it’d be a nice refresher.
The Silo show isn't really following the books at all any more.
The sections in the past are closer to what was happening in the second book but the stuff in the future at this point is them going off on their own, so I don't know that you'll feel any more informed by reading again :D
