Recently finished Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, and just started The Legend of Drizzt: The collected stories by R.A. Salvatore
I'm in a little bit of a drought, I don't have a list of books I'm interested in next, so I'm picking up random stuff here and there. If anyone has some suggestions for some fantasy or not-so-dense sci-fi, I'd love to check them out.
If you’re looking for something lighter, Travis Baldree’s Legends and Lattes is really good for a bit more of the cozy Fantasy Genre. The Prequel is out here in a week or so. I really enjoyed the Fred, The Vampire Accountant series by Drew Hayes as well as The Rook Files by Daniel O’Malley as well.
The earliest Fred books can feel as though they are written almost as multiple vignettes where the resolution can feel a bit deus ex machina, but it is on purpose to the larger arc.
The Rook has been out for a while now and had a show made from it, but the show really didn’t capture the feel of why the book was so good.
Thanks for the suggestions, all those are new titles to me so I'll be sure to check them out!
I just finished Legends and Lattes! It’s definitely a lighthearted book. Maybe I’ll pick up the prequel this week. I don’t have anything on the docket!
