I recently finished Leigh Bardugo's Grisha trilogy, and while they weren't my favorite books ever (the story was too clichéd), her writing is entertaining (as I discovered reading her Six of Crows duology) and I appreciated the depth of her world-building. It's very multicultural compared to most fantasy settings, and I particularly liked the Russian flare in her people/place names, and in her descriptions of food and clothing, etc.
Plus, she's a fan of MWT, and I was pleased to see that nice little promo blurb she did for the new cover of King of Attolia!
I'm still halfway through Ron Chernow's Hamilton biography. In my defense, it is a Very Large book with Very Small print. But I love biographies, and this one inspired the musical that's getting so much buzz lately, so I'm invested in finishing it. (Here's hoping I can splurge on a ticket while the show's playing in Chicago...)
Aside from other less stimulating texts I'm reading for various reasons, I'm enjoying my re-read of KoA, and editing my own book (slowly but surely).
