Beyond Reality discussion

I have finished the current book in our Deverry read, The Dragon Revenant, and am starting one of our July books of the month, The Infernal City. I thought The Dragon Revenent was excellent, possibly my favorite of these first 4 books.

I've read The Wheel of Osheim, the last book of Mark Lawrence's latest trilogy, and I'm very satisfied, I'm sure it wasn't easy to write since it had to be coherent with the Emperor of Thorns.
I've recently discovered Sherwood Smith thanks to her standalone The Trouble with Kings, a solid YA story, then I've picked A Stranger to Command and I'm currently reading Crown Duel. I love YA tales with a smart twist, exactly what I needed right now.

Couldn't get in to The Raft so quit and decided to move on to Malice but with only fair reviews and several books on my shelf, decided to move on to Otherbound

Sorry you didn't like The Raft, Christine. I liked it, but I can see how it wouldn't be for everyone. Malice is good, but the next two books in the series, Valour and Ruin are excellent, so keep that in mind if you decide to read the series. I haven't read Otherbound yet but I'm sure it will be excellent if On the Edge of Gone is any indication.

I'm listening to 70s sci-fi Dreamsnake, which I'm quite enjoying though it does feel a bit dated.

Next up is Infomocracy, which I am really looking forward to.

When I have five library books on my shelf, I tend to be impatient with books that don't "grab" me so move on. I'll think about Malice

I read Dreamsnake last year. It surprised me a bit; I thought it was going to be a fantasy read for some reason. But I liked the world building, and I enjoyed the story quite a bit.

I finished The Infernal City and am still deciding what to read next. I'll save my comments about the book until our discussion in July.
