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
