Hey there, I am curious what everyone is reading and how you are feeling with it. I started demon copperhead yesterday, made it about 70 pages in and decided to read the first book in the chthulu CaseBooks. It's a kinda retelling of Sherlock Holmes but with a Lovecraft quist.

I am digging it so far, about 50% through and it's a fun ride.

So what are you all reading?

City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty, It was the cover that caught my eye in the library and turning it over it actually sounded as an interesting read. But by looking it up online I realized that in my native tong (wich edition the library held) hadn't translated all books in the series yet. So I let it go. Than came across the whole series in English as it was written in, in a bookstore. And well here we are.

So far, I am only on the first 140pages or so, but I love the tension, and the slight humor it has, and the characters are interesting. The downside though less while I am getting used to most, and having found the glossary is there are a lot of unfamiliar words of wich the meaning cannot always be gleamed well from the text. I am somewhat used to this, but for some reason I cannot grasp they took me out of the story here multiple times.
