Still Reading The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson. His fourth and final standalone Cosmere "secret project" novel.

About halfway through, not much more to add.

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

Sounds interesting. Looking forward to your review of the full book.

Ok I finished it. 5/10 kind of boring. It was more of a story about a person dealing with the collapse of society than it was sci survival. The Triffids barely played a role I think they were mentioned only a handful of times and presented very little threat each time. The characters were smart and most of he people were reasonable. So there wasnt to much conflict. Still it was a short book and i enjoyed reading it.
