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?

Started reading Red Rising by Pierce Brown, so far it reads like a YA novel which I don't like, hopefully that changes as I read further

I think the YA gets easier to ignore, but it is consistent throughout the book. I had the same impression and while I made it through the first book I don't see myself continuing the series.

I don’t think the style changes much as the book goes on, but I really like this series.

If the style bothers you, you might have a hard time finishing it.

The first book is about teenagers but they do age as the story goes. By book 4, the main character is around 30. However, the style of storytelling didn’t feel much different to me.
