Hello everyone!

Have been pretty busy with life, so haven't been reading much, other than some random web novels when I have some time.

Just got back to my usual reading from today, hope will be able to stick to it now. I was reading Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore. Book 2 of the series.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

...Hard for me to answer that, as I'm still wrapping my head around it, but I'm going to say yes, as while I haven't seen the adaptation, you almost certainly get a lot more of the main character's thoughts and point-of-view, as well as more worldbuilding. The way the city (and the city) work is clearly integral to the plot, but I didn't feel cheated by it, in any case.
