    Yup, 14 is the first in this series! It had a very slow burn into the weirdness of his world. The Fold knows that the reader is in on it even if the characters don’t yet. I think that’s a main reason I’m into it, but Clines also does a very good job at writing believable people which keeps it engaging.

    Highly recommend Bennett’s Ana and Din Mysteries. Super world, good mystery, and interesting characters. I’ve nearly finished his Foundryside series (2/3), and while neat, they aren’t as strong in my opinion.

      Thanks, I’m even more excited to read them both! I’ve heard the magic system in the founders trilogy is quite unique.

        Pretty unique and well developed. Also an interesting setting. I think the characters in that series aren’t as well flushed out or believable in comparison to his more recent work.
