Reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). About halfway through the book, things are getting interesting, mainly because we are learning more of the world and how it works, still no solution to actual problem though, but I doubt we will get it before the end.

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

Currently reading Children of Strife by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Book 4 in the series. Really good, but jumps around a lot. Certainly not one to read an hour a night. Really needed longer sessions to keep all the characters in my head ๐Ÿ˜

I just finished children of memory and struggled with that book a lot because of the time jumps and confusing plot as well, seems like the next book is more of the same, the first 2 books in this series was really interesting, is the 4th book worth it

I'd say yes. It focuses on a new, uplifted animal from the same world as the spiders and fleshes out the aftermath of the original earth conflict.
