I’m currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It’s pretty decent I’ve been making very rapid progress as it’s been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.
I haven’t seen the Apple show, but maybe I’ll watch it in the future when I’ve finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).
Working on The Name of the Wind and then next up is Death’s End.
the whole three body problem is such a mind bender, but especially the last one. really, really enjoyed those books. the guy that translated them also wrote some stuff that’s not bad at all - Ken Liu (no relation shockingly!)
I have a copy of The Grace of Kings by Liu that I’m going to read at some point too!
I’m so so sorry. Name of the Wind is brilliant. The sequel is decent. But I’ve given up hope for the series to ever be completed.

Whatcha sorry about? Does the book end on a cliffhanger or something? Or can I get away with just reading the first one?
Well, I adored Name of the Wind. It’s a great read. But like I said, I’ve given up hope for that series. I don’t believe that the author will ever finish it. I really hate unfinished stories, especially one like this that feels only half-written (yes, half, with 2 out of 3 books written!). So I’m sorry for your sake, that you’ve gotten sucked into an unfinished tale.
Ah, that’s a bummer. I’m definitely enjoying it this far but I’m invested in enough other series/stories that I’ll probably feel ok putting this one on the shelf. Similar to GoT, I enjoyed what I read (all that’s been released in the main series) and have since moved on. If another book does come out, awesome! If not, oh well.
