Still reading The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

Book is pretty fast paced and full of action. Really enjoying it.

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

Already made a post on here but I went down a Brandon Sanderson rabbit hole. Still working through the Stormlight novellas, but my library has his secret projects on audiobook and they're fucking spectacular. (Read Tress and Yumi so far.)

The premium hardcovers look gorgeous, too, but I haven't convinced myself to pay $55 apiece for them, even though I really want to. (The regular hardcover of Tress isn't bad, but the Yumi one is really disappointing.)

Yeah, Sanderson is one of my favourite author, and his secret projects are really good.

He always seems to take a touch longer to really capture me than I want, but he nails the payoff every time. That beautiful set of secret projects books is even more tempting after finishing them all.

I'm just into book 2 of Mistborn now, and doubt I'll be able to stop before getting through those too. I already like reading series from start to finish where possible, and he's just really good at what he does.
