Audio books? I love audible - and it takes away some of the eye fatigue you can get starting out - if you get the book in written format and combine that with audio - I think it’ll help you get into reading a little easier

Of course! I’ll check out The Chemist! I could honestly recommend way more - I’ve been listening to audible during all my mundane every day tasks for 10 years - I have like 750 or 800 books in my library because of it … I may need to seek someone about that =)

Oh and Kings Dark Tidings by Kel Kade

Dark Prism is fantastic - really cool magic system.

Read Codex Alera by Jim Butcher too -Kate Reading is fantastic.

If you like urban fantasy like Dresden - check out Iron Druid by Kevin Hearne - also on audible - Luke Daniels narrates and really hits his stride on the second book - first one (Hounded) is a bit rough - but so was Storm Front. If you look up the reading order - it is a series you can listen to with the shorts and novellas in order without having to be worried about spoilers.

And Brandon Sanderson’s library - these are a mix of very heavy and very light series and one offs - more high fantasy though - all great narrators as well.

That should get you a year … or 2 if you like Sanderson - that dude writes like… all the words

James Marsters IS Harry Dresden. I listened to them as they were released since 2012 mostly on my commute - Audible is the best.

I just didn’t think they added much - even with the major character events - felt like mid-season clip shows they run on tv series when they are out of ideas. Like - oh - remember this character / he is here too now - oh and this one too! etc…

No - I was commenting on peace talks and battle ground.

I’ve read all of Butchers work and I love it. I thought for sure it was me when I read those 2 in 2020 so I recently reread the entire series, including shorts, just so I could read those in context of the series.

Suffice to say, I put Battle Ground down 2 days ago about 60% in. I just didn’t like it - same with Peace Talks - but I finished that one.

Except the last 2..
