I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I’m going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

      Without spoilers what’s the “mage” part of the story?

        Interesting question. Have to admit I’m not sure exactly how to answer! At eight books in there’s a lot of story to summarise… :) It’s a “mages in space” universe. Lots of space combat, which mages have a hand in. Mages are part of a ruling class, and there are “mage” vs “mundane” political tensions… It’s not a prophecy fulfilment kind of story, though our main character does start off as a bit of an underdog. I’ll stop there. More?
