Right now I am on Murderbot Diaries book 5. So good. Martha Wells really captures anxiety and depression from an internal standpoint well without it being overbearing. The character growth of the main character over the series has been lovely to read. (ok so I'm reading Sci-Fi....)

Just finished Sanderson's Secret Project #3 (and loved it), and now I'm trying out some of Will Wight's non-Cradle series, starting with Of Sea and Shadow. I ended up getting really into Cradle and sped through most of the series in a few weeks, so I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get into the rest of his writing.

I just finished SP2 tonight and I'm still processing it.

Oh I read the Elder Empire and enjoyed them well enough. I liked the concept and it was cool seeing the stories from multiple angles, but the eldritch creatures and descriptions got a little strong for my taste. I can't really do horror and he was right on the borderline of that sometimes.
