I’m currently reading Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon. I recently finished The Stars Are Legion by Kameron Hurley which is a scifi-horror with really heavy topics and events. A few were moments pretty disturbing but it’s a great book, I recommend it.
IPB is my palate cleanser before finishing off the third Kushiel book, which also has somewhat heavy topics in places. I try to read lighter books in between my heavy stuff. I just needed something that didn’t have too much death, mutilation, and dismemberment lol
I’ve been interested to see what kids read today, so I’ve been picking them up at my library. They are fun!
