It's still book 3, but I found it interesting how different it is from Dresden Files. There is no forces of nature with personal enmity with the protagonist (yet), it's just (magic) crimes being solved by (magic) police. More of a police procedural then whatever genre Dresden Files is 😀

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I finished Grendel by John Gardner. There were some parts I really liked and some that were just ok. Overall a decent read.

I've started rereading the Lady Astronaut books by Mary Robinette Kowal. They are just as gripping and bingeable as I remember them being. I finished the first one (The Calculating Stars) and am currently on book 2 (The Fated Sky).

Lady Astronaut books

Is the series finished? Or atleast have non-cliffhanger ending?

So I've only read the first 3. The 4th just came out recently, hence my reread. Each of the books I've read had a non-cliffhangery ending and was self-contained enough that I'd be satisfied even if the series didn't continue.
