And how are you liking it?
I’m working my way through Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett and it’s solid so far, lots of fun, very compelling. I’m not the fastest reader but I’m already halfway done after just a few days.

My feelings on books 2 and 3 are complicated; but I hated book 2 because I saw the ending coming from a hundred pages in (“ohhh, this is gonna be tragic AF, right?”) and I just in general found 2 and 3 to be much darker than I like. I mean, those books are both SO dark.
But dark doesn’t mean they were badly written, or even badly plotted, and both books still had moments of incredible beauty, or stunning revelation, or twisted WTF that made me gawk.
It’s a good series; I just think Steven Erikson is too mean to his characters. ;)
It’s a heavy series, definitely. 2 and 3 are especially grim books tbf. In fact I hated 2 myself back when I read it the first time as a teen. It’s only when I went back in my 30s and tried again it became one of my favourite reads ever.
