    Thank you for including the Way of Edan in your reading plans for next month, Chance! It's cool that you're tackling several self-published fantasies, and I wish you the best for all your reads. Also, you're so right about Malazan characters -- you never know how you'll end up feeling about them. Finally, I wish you the best for your writing as you hear back from your alpha readers!

    Some very cool reads. I love the Berserk influences in Sun Eater!!
    Have you read Between Two Fires by Christopher Beuhlman? It’s a medieval horror novel that’s like Berserk mixed with the Witcher with a Catholic coat of paint. It’s excellent and I think you’d enjoy it!!

    Love to hear you are enjoying Empire of the Vampire so far, Kristoff is one of my favourites! And excited to hear more about The Failures as you go, I am super intrigued by that book.
    My highlight of last week was Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle, which is now one of my new favourite horror books! And I also started the show of The Last of Us (I know, late to the party), which I am devouring!!
    Congrats on the good progress with you writing, keep rocking on!

      Hope you enjoy Bury Your Gays if you try it. If you like audio, I would recommend getting that because it has some sections with sound effects and cameos from plenty of popular queer authors narrating a bit, I loved it!

    Congrats on meeting your writing goals. It sounds like you're making solid progress. And isn't it so satisfying to get to one of those scenes that have been in you head for years? I'm sure you'll kill it. As far as recommends, I have a few short and fast reads for you or anyone reading this comment. As I mentioned before, I really like Glen Cook's Garret P. I. series but that goes here too, along with Steven Brust Vlad Taltos Series (audiobook narrator is great) and Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga starting with the first Miles book. For a little longer read I recommend of a more recently written series that I really enjoyed The Dungeon Crawler Carl series (Audiobook is next level great). And it is a good starting place if you're curious about LitRPG at all. Thanks for reading. Have a great day.
