Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive #2) by Brandon Sanderson
A hefty tome which spanned over 3000 pages as rendered by my eReader (an “average” book is typically ~400 pages). Took up most of January and February.
High fantasy set in the land of Roshar.
Kaladin continues his journey discovering how to harness the power of stormlight. And we learn more about the history that shaped this world via Shallan’s studies.
Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
A book that plays out a possible early colonization of Mars. Unfortunately for me, I was hoping it would be a harder sci-fi focusing on technical challenges. It rather focuses on people and political challenges over decades of colonization and terraforming efforts.
A bit too much political drama in real life to really enjoy artificial political drama.
Also fairly hefty, 1500 pages on my eReader. Took up the rest of February.
