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 went into Project Hail Mary blind too, and it was very interesting to see how things unfold.

Someone else mentioned Otherland series in the same thread. Have never read it, but I remember loving Memory, Sorrow and Thorn (though I don't remember a single thing from that), so will check it out.

I think I'm enjoying Otherland more than Memory, Sorrow and Thorn! They're both following many of the main tropes of their own genre, cyberpunk, and fantasy respectively, but I think Otherland is more unique of an entry. MSaT possibly would have hit harder had I read it as a teenager.

I did read it as a teenager, maybe that's why I remember liking it so much.

Will add Otherland to my list, but I have his Shadowmarch series in my TBR pile, so will prefer to read that before getting anything else.
