What books have you been enjoying lately?

Well let's see. I just finished Red Sister by Mark Lawrence and overall I really liked it, I'll keep going with the series, but probably not right away. It was solid but the pacing was a little off in a way that wore me down as the book went on.

Justice of Kings by Richard Swan was real good. Kinda Sherlock Holmes meets Judge Dredd meets Witchfinder General vibe going on. Very cool.

Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison was quite nice, though never really peaked for me, it just kind of unfurled pleasantly then ended too abruptly. Still, good for an easy, cozy read.

Also The City We Became by NK Jemesin was weird and fun but again meandered a bit in the middle until it was pretty much finished.

How about you?
