Reading Fated by Benedict Jacka, first book in his urban fantasy series Alex Verus.

It is interesting to see how different Alex is from Dresden, both are very different kind of mages, though both have their own issues with their respective councils.

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

Working my way thru Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook, on Chapter 34 now. Its a lot of fun. The voice actor for this book is very impressive. He has a huge range and really gives so much personality to the characters.

    He really is, he is now up there with one of my other favorite voice actors, Phil Thron. He read the Space Team series which is also a super fun book series that I highly recommend if you have the chance

    Im currently reading this series, on book 6. I personally dont like the audiobook because I like the voices I've already imagined while reading. No hate on the voice actor, its my issue, I read the AI in a flat tone like I would read a video game tooltip. And donut is similar to the cat from life of pets in my head.

    Keep going, it gets even better. Book 1 barely scratches the surface. Also, book 3 can be very confusing. Dont get hung up on the geography and enjoy the characters.

    I get that, I had a really hard time sinking in to the Wheel of Time audiobooks at first because both the voices and the names where not what I read in my head. I got there eventually and finished the series, but it took several hours awkwardness to get there.

    Also thx for the note on book three I'll keep that in mind when I get there
