BrittanyJust finished The Assassin’s Blade prequel to Throne of Glass after getting about halfway through Heir of Fire (3rd book in main series?).
I liked it, it definitely explains some of the world building elements more explicitly than is done in later books.
I especially enjoyed the second and third stories in this collection. The ending is heartbreaking 💔
I still think it is best to read Throne of Glass before this one.

Earth Notes
The momentum of the solar energy transition - Nature Communications
Nijsse and colleagues find that due to technological trajectories set in motion by past policy, a global irreversible solar tipping point may have passed where solar energy gradually comes to dominate global electricity markets, without any further climate policies. Uncertainties arise, however, over grid stability in a renewables-dominated power system, the availability of sufficient finance in underdeveloped economies, the capacity of supply chains and political resistance from regions that lose employment.

I have been a #RobertJordan fan for a long time. (Since the 90s it turns out). I loved the #WheelOfTime series and have enjoyed the streaming version. So stepping into #audiobook was a great surprise at this new perspective.
Having a male and female reader works well with Jordan’s theme of the make and female sides of the One Power. The narrators really bring the book to life. Volume 4 brings the Aile (spelling??) into the centre of the story and Mat Cauthorn’s luck is entertaining.
This book uses the foundations set in the earlier pieces well. I like the way he manages the different cultures and world views.
In short I have been sucked back in.

Almost halfway through Empire in Black and Gold by @aptshadow and really enjoying it.
It's an audio book, on a streaming service so I fear neither author nor narrator get paid anything (basically).
I'll probably buy the whole series as ebooks later.
It's weird though, I started listening to it a year or so ago and just couldn't get into it and dropped it fairly quickly. So glad I gave it a second chance.

I’m up to the 7th ‘Rivers of London’ book, but re-reading them all to refresh my memory before I dive into it.
Urban fantasy/paranormal mystery are definitely my genres. If anyone can recommend similar reads, let me know

thedrellumI just finished TELL ME I'M WORTHLESS by Alison Rumfitt (2021, Nightfire Books) and it is a wonderful and brutal read. I did not realize that political horror could be done so well.
