I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

I finished Red Rising, but it seems like the vast majority of it was kind of fantasy-like, but in an over arching science fiction setting due to the nature of the plot. Does that ever change in the following books? As in, does it get more science fiction like? Perhaps with more advanced tech or anything to do with space?

Overarchingly, I would say no. I think, for me, the less intense sci-fi aspect is something that appeals to me more, so I quite like it. That said, I understand if you're More into sci-fi, it would detract from the experience.
