I’m currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It’s pretty decent I’ve been making very rapid progress as it’s been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.
I haven’t seen the Apple show, but maybe I’ll watch it in the future when I’ve finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).
I just started reading “The Curse of Chalion” bu Lois McMaster Bujold, following a rather specific fantasy itch that was most recently scratched by “The Goblin Emperor” (by Sarah Monette) and before that by the Valdemar series, particularly the Arrows of the Queen and Winds of Fate series. I hope it delivers!
Chalion delivers, as do all of the World of the Five Gods books.
The short stories and novellas of the Penric and Desdemona series are more variable in quality, but the three main novels are Bujold at her absolute peak.
