I’m finishing up The Golden Enclaves, the last of the Scholomance Series by Naomi Novik. It fulfills The Jerk with a Heart of Gold square, but in getting in to it, it also fits the LGBTQIA+ representation square. I’ve gotten started on so many great series in the last few years doing reading challenges and this year I’m going to try and get caught up with a bunch of them. I’m super excited!
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Wind and Truth was great but I was kind of sad that the first arc of Stormlight was done. Of course I don’t want to spoil the ending but I feel like the second arc will feel like a completely different world and I am sad I won’t get to see more of normal Roshar. The worldbuilding and magic systems are just awesome in Sanderson works.
Post Wind and Truth spoilers
Since stormlight is gone the old magic system is also kind of dead. I am excited for a more cosmere aware storyline though. It feels like things will be ramping up into a full out war between Shards after Dalinar’s gamble. Basically everybody vs Retribution which will be a awesome fight.
Did you read The Sunlit Man? It starts discussing what you talk about.
I did, it was probably one of my favourite Sanderson standalones. It was weird reading it before Wind & Truth though since I found out about Sigzil killing his spren and becoming a skybreaker before actually seeing the scene where he kills her in Wind & Truth.
