Just 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.

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.

DCI Thomas Nightingale said trans rights! 🕵️‍♂️🏳️‍⚧️ I knew I liked him best!
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

Happy Ramadan to all. #IyiRamazanlar

Rereading #LisaGardner's FBI Pierce Quincy profiler series is like visiting a long-lost friend.

I 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.
