hard magic systems....soft magic systems....secret third thing called "there are logical rules to the way everything works but the POV character simply isnt thinking about them so you, the reader, never get to learn them"

Tonight’s reading is going to be atleast 2 chapters of These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs. I keep not having the time to sink into this one so I am now on the couch, I have a blanket, and the phone is going away.

I want to build a reading routine before bed, so this is me documenting the effort!
Tonight I am reading Violeta by Isabel Allende.
I am about 75% of the way through and although it has not captured me as strongly as Long Petal of the Sea I have found her to be pleasant company on my commutes 💙📚

City of Others is a weird, spunky urban fantasy mystery that somehow compresses a nefarious corporation, scheming jinn, undead ducklings, wyverns, supernatural markets, and office politics into one seamless story. @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social recommends Jared Poon's Singaporean fantasy adventure:
