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?

You are getting to the part that is kind of a slog, but I promise the pay off in the end is worth getting thru the series.

    True, I find myself skipping some words/sentences/paragraphs and even pages. Jordan wrote a lot of words, but they're not all necessary for the overall story.

    Brandon Sanderson really brought it all back together and tied up the series well. 9, 10 and 11 are kind of drawn out and wandering; you might find yourself questioning what you are doing and how this all plays a part in the story, but I swear it gets reined back in and you get put on track again. The fully series is such a great story its super worth it.
