Finished The Novice by Trudi Canavan. The second book in The Black Magician trilogy.

Found the second half to be more interesting than the first half, but that is probably just me.

Started Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman, book 2 of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

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

That series is fascinating. Wizard is incredibly early in modern fantasy. The final short story came out 50 years later in 2018. The whole genre developed in between and you can see the series develop with it.
