I have never heard that phrase but whatever it is it has me hooked. Pretty good writing and the story has picked up ace and intensity, just a bit over 40% now. Well this novel may be "Romantasy" and thanks for educating me re that term Iakus , but this book just crossed into full on: Well I won't use the term I was going to but let's just say extremely detailed descriptions of intimate acts. Face it, you're doomed to Harlequin Romance novels from now on.

Well, romances can be like that. Thus why many of the covers are like "Dude, where's my shirt?"

A half millennia ago, Siolene’s enemies took everything from her, including, they thought, her life.
Against all odds, she survived in cryo stasis, and thanks to the pirate captain who rescued her, she built a new family and a new life as Queen of Ajen.
But old enmities die hard, and when the lives of her children are threatened, there is only one choice left for her: Siolene must trust in her found family, in her husband, and in his enigmatic fixer as they return to face the enemy on his own ground.
It may cost her everything she’s built, but Siolene cannot fail. One way or another, she will keep The Conqueror’s Promise.

It's part of the newly-dubbed, wildly popular "romantasy" genre. Romance in a fantasy setting. I have never heard that phrase but whatever it is it has me hooked. Pretty good writing and the story has picked up ace and intensity, just a bit over 40% now. So finished Fourth Wing and enjoyed it a lot, enough to actually buy the 2nd book for $16-99 AUD. The writing was good to very good, the characters especially the mains were very good, the story is good even if it leans on Dragon Riders of Pern (which is good right ) and it was quite suspenseful with a nice twist at the end. It certainly was the hook that made me not wait on the 2nd one being cheaper.

Oh also started reading the Dragon Age Comics of which I believe there are 9 and finished the first two: Mage Killer and The Silent Grove.
They are good in terms of nice backgrounds to characters in the games and enjoyable reads.

After finishing Hair's Moontide Quartet, I'm giving the Licanius Trilogy by James Islington a shot. So far pretty good. Drops lots of hooks early on. Characters are... so-so, so far. We'll see. It's not terribly witty or clever, but clearly going somewhere. Seems like there's a bit of decent worldbuilding going on but again, we'll see. I've certainly read worse.

Just finished reading all the DA Comics, I am not normally a comic reader but got them for free from somewhere and the DAV Trailer inspired me.
They were enjoyable for what they are, Knight Errant was probably my favourite and The Missing gives some info. leading directly up to where the DAV Trailer starts.
All the ones I read:
Silent Grove Comic 1 Those Who Speak Comic 2 Until We Speak Comic 3 Mage killer Comic 4 Knight Errant Comic 5 Deception Comic 6 Blue Wraith Comic 7 Dark Fortress Comic 8 The Missing Comic 9

Read the first three books a while ago. Seems like a good time to do the second half of the series: They left a man behind. 100,000 years behind.
Another chapter in the popular time travel thriller series Bad Times by bestselling author Chuck Dixon. Lee, Jimbo and the rest of the hard-fighting Rangers go back to prehistoric Nevada to find the man they left behind on their first mission.
This epic quest brings them into dangerous encounters with giant predators long extinct. But the most dangerous of all these animals is man.
Back in the present, one of their team is abducted by a mysterious billionaire seeking to grow his fortunes with the use of the scientific miracle known as the Tauber Tube.
Also, their benefactor from the future shares a startling secret.

Also listening to Jack Vance's Dying Earth stories. It's a classic in science fiction/fantasy. D&D's "Vancian" magic system was based on the magic system here. In fact "Vecna" is an anagram for "Vance"

Okay the first three stories in Dying Earth were pretty good, but after that they started to kinda run together and felt the same. So, back to Firefly! Deadly disease
Months after Inara leaves Serenity, Mal and the crew finally learn the reason for her sudden departure: She is dying of a terminal illness. It is Kiehl’s Myeloma, a form of cancer that’s supposedly incurable, and Inara has very little time left.
A disreputable scientist
Through their shock and despair, rumors of a cure reach the crew. Expert Esau Weng is said to have developed a means to treat Inara’s condition, but he has been disgraced and incarcerated for life on a notorious Alliance prison planet.
An infamous prison
On Atata planet, inmates are abandoned with no guards and left to survive as best they can. What’s more, terraforming the planet did not take properly, so the world is a frozen wasteland. To save Inara, the Serenity crew must infiltrate the prison....

Finally finished 'Dead Souls' by Nicolai Gogol, Russian 19th century literature Some interesting things in this novel but overall a bit of a disappointment. It left many themes including the main them of the book hanging and just ignored it at the end more or less. I am now reading a short story by Gogol.

Book 2 of a *completed* three-book series.
Get ready for another spine-tingling journey with "Parasite," the electrifying sequel to the acclaimed "Residue." In the aftermath of the life-altering events that shook him to the core, Jack Bishop relocates to Sacramento, California, determined to uncover the truth behind his father's disappearance. His unique ability to perceive the lingering psychic remnants of both monsters and murder victims becomes his only guide in this relentless quest.
Little does Jack know that an ancient and formidable psychic entity has been unleashed upon the city, threatening not just his new home, but the entire world. With time ticking away, Jack and the mind-reading Alexandra (Alex) Courtney must join forces as they face unprecedented stakes. Their mission: to confront this supernatural menace and protect their loved ones, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice.

I'm reading the Dark Horse comic adaptation of the Heir to the Empire trilogy. The 90s was an awesome time for Star Wars. The best in fact. Mara Jade is the single best SW character.
There was something very cool about Star Wars being only the OT, with the Thrawn Trilogy as the ST and Tales of the Jedi as the PT.
