I'm reading Alex Verus 5 tonight & tomorrow, and I intend to pick up the pace on Dead Beat because I should finally be getting Mercy Thompson 4 later this week. I moved recently and found a small local bookshop that specialises in fantasy, and immediately upon walking in I saw several series I've never been able to find in years. Bonus - they have a loyalty program, I'm going to be there a lot.
Edit: The extended Lightning Tree by Pat Rothfuss comes out tomorrow too iirc (I can't remember what it's called), that's definitely on the list.
The narrow road between desires, eager to read that as well!
Oooh, that's a dream. Wish I can find a nice local bookshop like that.
Mercy Thompson looks interesting. I already have few urban fantasy lined up after Dresden, can add this to the list too.
Is this the side-story of a character from his Wise Man's Fear? I think I saw something about it, but I am ignoring Rothfuss' work, until we can get something complete. 😀
Yeah, it's a character from the framing story of the two main books, Wise Man's Fear is the second. I think they're still worth reading even if we'll probably never see the series completed, it's some really beautiful writing.
Side note, The Lies of Locke Lamora is my favourite book, and that's another series that'll probably never be finished. On the bright side I hated A Song of Ice and Fire 🤷♀️ I'm 400 pages into The Way of Kings which is my first Sanderson book, so at least I've got approximately 150 years of reading lined up while I wait.
Haha, that's my problem too. Too many book and too little time. So why not read stories that are already finished? I don't care if every single plot line is solved, but there should be some kind of ending at least.
As for Rothfuss, I follow his blog and like his style, so it's possible I'll just give up one day and get the books even if he doesn't finish it.
