This week flew by pretty quickly. Didn't even get time to read all the messages in last week's post...

Finished Valour's Choice by Tanya Huff. Book 1 of Confederation. Enjoyed the book, going to continue with the series, and may check some more of Tanya Huff's work too.

Read Jujitu Kaisen Vol. 5. Nothing much to say about that, more of a manga goodness.

Started Dark Moon by David Gemell, a standalone fantasy book. This is my first Gemell book and I am enjoying it. I am about 1/3rd of the way in, and the world-building feels like something that can sustain a trilogy or even a longer series.

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

I'd been planning to read Hebdomeros for some time - so that's what I've finished recently.

Just looked up the wikipedia article on the book, and I am not sure I understand what it's about... Any reviews?

It's quite similar to Invisible Cities: it's interesting as a curious piece with poetic language, full of dream-like images coming and going. I'd say Invisible Cities is somewhat more vigorous in this regard, but both are quite enjoyable.
