anyone have a recommendation for a good book or series of books?

at the moment, feel like something historical fiction or non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi or in any way generally thought provoking...

Ada Palmer's Too Like the Lightning and Seven Surrenders are mind-blowing. @bright_moon
@mykola ok, a strong recommendation! added to my list. I actually started one of those, Seven Surrenders I think, but I left it on a train and then somehow forgot about it until you mentioned it. Will definitely get to them. thank you

just found a book voucher I forgot about so I'm heading to the bookshop as well as the library. woo hoo
@bright_moon Seven Surrenders is the sequel to Too Like the Lightning and order really matters a lot - def read TLtL first!
@mykola could have been the other way around, who knows as my memory is shocking.
Duly noted. Always important to read in order, at least the first time
