Science Fiction

I'm almost done the Lords of Uncreation which is book 3 of The Final Architecture. Quite the epic space opera. Then I will pick up Wool as season 1 of the TV series will be concluded.

For We Are Many Bobiverse book 2

Currently reading Foundation and Earth by Asimov, I absolutely loved the original trilogy so I’ve been reading through the sequels and plan on going back to the prequels after. In my opinion the sequels have a big shift in pacing and sort of the way that the plot develops… not sure how I feel about that. On one hand it is easier to keep up with with less characters, but on the other it feels like the scale of things is much smaller. Trying to not spoil anything. The series is a fantastic read nevertheless!

I'm almost done the Powder Mage trilogy, starting the third book now. It's good, the author is a little less grim than Joe Ambercrombie but similar style if you're looking for a new series.

Re-reading Ready Player One. I want to forget how bad the sequel is and how they butchered all character development at the beginning of the book.

I'm reading Thrawn: Traitor (Thrawn Canon books #3). Not the greatest series I've ever read by any means but I need a break from the Stormlight Archives Ave my library had no wait on these.

I'm halfway through Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson. I didn't know anything about this book other than it was about a generation ship but I'm really enjoying it. Every time I pick up one of his books I can't believe how good the science is, dude really digs into everything

Probably only relevant to German readers, I'm currently enjoying "Sanctum" from a series by Markus Heitz. He made a trilogy about werewolves and one about vampires, both are great if you're into spooky stuff, action and a bit of fictional violence. ;) Personally, I think that the Judas trilogy (the one about vampires) is written slightly better and a more fluent story arc, so if you only would give one of them a try and you're not an absolute werewolf fan, I'd start with "Kinder des Judas".

I'm reading the "Starship's mage" series by Glynn Stewart, really fun boks, and still after having read 14 books it's still really a fun read :)

Wool was great! The rest of the series too. I've been watching the show and I think they did a pretty good adaptation with it.

Currently reading "This is How you Lose the Time-war". Just started it but it's an interesting concept and different from my usual sci-fi reads

House of Leaves. Although I'm struggling because I haven't read a physical book in years and I can't bring it everywhere like I can my Leaf 2.

State Tectonics, third book of the Centenal Cycle by Malka Older. It's not bad so far, but it feels like too artificial. Like the setting doesn't make much sense, the author just wanted to play with it. Yes, same applies to the first two books. I liked the first one much more to be honest.

I'm working my way through the Red Rising series. Very interesting plot and lovable characters. Brutal violence though.

I'm reading The Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski. It is the fifth book of The Witcher's series

I forgot I read Wool, that was a good book! Currently reading nonfiction (Outlive by Peter Attia) but recently read Axiom's End and enjoyed it.

I'm currently reading American Psycho and The Two Towers. Both can be slow at times, so it's nice to be able to read one of them and when it gets boring read the other one

Brushfire by Craig Alanson.
Expeditionary Force might not be the ebst book series, later books are repetetive and predictable - but despite that it is still so much fun to read.

I'm re-reading "Scions of Humanity" (AEON 14) while I wait for the next book to be released (Galactic Front). You can start reading books from the AEON 14 for free at Rika Mechanized

I've just finished Wool as well! Shift is off to a good start too. I've been watching the Apple show as it comes out but it differs from the books more than I though it would (especially in the latest episode).

I definitely recommend Dennis E. Taylor's work if you haven't read any. The Bobiverse and Outland collections are both excellent.

The Fifth science by Exurb1a. It's a collection of short stories in a shared universe. Love it so far. Author has a good youtube channel if you're into that.

The Ark Royal series by Christopher Nuttel.

Nuttel is rare because most series have an issue of everyone becoming overpowered. He has created enemies far stronger and weaker than humanity, he focusses on how an enemy has a tactical edge.

I find Military Sci-Fi a really relaxing read and it's largely written by ex forces, so gives a really interesting insight into how they are structured and think.

Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds. I’m about 3/4 of the way through, and it’s been very interesting thus far! Definitely has not gone where I thought it was gonna go, which is cool.

If you haven’t read it I won’t give any spoilers, but I was fascinated by the similarities to The Expanse in the beginning. They definitely go different places, but I can feel Reynolds influence on James Corey. Surprised I haven’t seen anybody mention this before.

Anyways, I read House of Suns before this and probably like that more, but Pushing Ice is quite good. Should I start the Revelation Space series next?

Reading the Wool as well, but it's too hot here to concentrate on more than one or two pages at a time. :)

(NEVER trust a person selling you a property. They can bullshit even the smallest inconsequential details, like the ability of your heat pump to work in reverse, to cool the house down)

The TV show is nice, but it's moving pretty slow. And I feel like it's just going to get killed before any kind of conclusion is reached, that's why I started with the book.
