Back to reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). Only read couple of pages, but things are setting down so should be getting back to reading more.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I’ve been reading the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas - currently on book #4, Queen of Shadows. Recommended to me by my wife.
Overall I’m liking the series, much better than the ACOTAR series (also by Sarah J. Maas) that I read only two books of before deciding I wasn’t into the spiciness that my wife enjoys.
I think the protagonists are pretty well written and fun to read as (mostly), but find the antagonists to be somewhat shallow. I’ve found the endings of each book to not feel as rewarding as I want and sometimes I feel like there are major exposition dumps towards the endings to explain everything quickly before wrapping up and setting up the next adventure.
I compare a lot of fantasy to Sanderson’s Cosmere so maybe I’m being unfair or biased… but I like the series well enough so no major complaints.
I went on a huge binge of these books last year. I personally liked the Crescent City books the best of hers. I think overall her plots are interesting but the writing and character development is fairly simplistic.
