Finished The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King.
It was a nice book. Kind of YA, but fun to read. Pretty much a typical story of good vs bad, where good characters are super good and bad characters are super bad, with very few gray in between. Worth a read if you want a standalone fantasy novel that’s quick to read.
Read The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. My first Scalzi novel and I loved it. A very light and easy to read sci-fi, with Kaiju in them. Going to get other Scalzi novels, may start with Old Man’s War.
Finally got my order my Dresden Files comics / graphic novels. So read the first omnibus, which has the original Welcome to the Jungle and graphic adaptation of first two Dresden Files novels, Storm Front and Fool Mon.
Second omnibus has all original graphic novels novels though, but will get to them later.
Just started Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I have read it before, but it has been quite a while, so re-reading it before starting on the sequel series.

Sorry, the first book isn’t all world building, it just starts off slower because of that. Several characters are introduced in their own parts of the world and various places in society which makes it feels a bit disjointed. It starts coming together eventually then you’ll know if it’s worth carrying on or not.
The switching of PoVs can be a bit frustrating, especially when you’re starting to attach yourself to one character and then you’re thrown into the shoes of another. The audiobook perhaps makes that worse with the switching of narrator between the male and female leads. It certainly threw me off at the start but I grew to appreciate it.
