Started The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson, 3rd book in the 2nd era of Mistborn.

It's fun to read the antics of Wayne. Probably the most fun character in the book.

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

Just finished Martyr! and now I'm reading Neuromancer.

Martyr! was good, though I didn't really enjoy the last couple chapters. It felt rushed to meet a deadline.

I'm only about 20% through Neuromancer. It's good so far. Sci-fi is my go to.

I'm constantly recommending Neuromancer. Great read.

That book is overrated imo. Some of the prose is clearly geared towards a young modern audience in a way I found grating.

I also found the ending both unsatisfying and unsurprising and felt that the protagonist got off to his flaws as opposed to confronting them.
