Reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy. Around 180 or so pages in, and we are still in the past, the story is interesting, so reading about these characters, but I am still not sure if it will have any effect in the future / present, or it's just for world building. I am now invested enough now to see where it goes though.

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

Last summer I went through all 15 Wheel of Time books (late June through November), so this summer I was excited to read Malazan. To be honest it's been more of a chore than I'd hoped.

I love the magic system, the banter is SO good. Characters just keep dying and then coming back; it's got a lot going for it. The many, many different races, the 300,000+ years of history in the backstory...

It's just a shame that it's burdened by the issues I mentioned earlier; and more. And sooo many more.
