It was a wild ride! We are back to world shattering problems and trying to stop them. Just finished the book so haven't finalised which one to start next, but thinking about reading the next Mistborn book, 3rd one in Wax and Wayne era. Let's see.

I started reading the Bobiverse trilogy (Dennis E. Taylor), just getting into the 2nd book.

The premise and arch is nothing short of stunning but I'm not sure about the development, or the storytelling. E.g.:

spoiler

Where is the author going to fall on Bob increasingly interfering in the development of a less-developed alien species? I sense more and more such dilemmas coming up, as a result of the whole thing branching out more and more, and I'm not sure how the author is going to gather it all again.

Definitely nice to read though, since I read the first book in just a few days.

I loved the Bobiverse books, but I think there are more books than a trilogy. I don't want to give spoilers though, so you'll have to see yourself how it plays out with these aliens.

TIL there's more books in the series. I had only seen it referred to as a trilogy and assumed I was done after book 3.

Looks like 4 and 5 are out, 6 has a completed first draft and a 7th is planned after that.

To the TBR list they go.

Sounds like the defining element of the books themselves.
