Some like it because it has similarities to Patrick Rothfuss -- and some like it on its own terms. (It's a fantasy inspired by South Asian settings.) Others are accusing it of being a "copy" of "The Kingkiller Chronicle." This series is being published by the same publisher (Tor), so it's highly unlikely that they would pay this guy to plagiarize one of their authors. ![]() Anyway, if you're upset about Patrick Rothfuss, maybe you'll want to give this one a try. There are already two books out in the series! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...-first-binding |

Looks like the Discworld Humble Bundle has returned. Reposting for anyone who missed it the first time:
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/t...ore_bookbundle I might try a standalone topic, too, since a great deal of posters were disappointed that they missed it the first go-round. |

In the UK, Janny Wurts' Curse of the Mistwraith is Apple's Free Book of the Week, if you have an Apple device with the Books app. (But will be tied to Apple hardware, so you're maybe still better off paying.)

Hi
Hello Everyone, Laura Kirwan’s UF series is a refreshing take with a 50+ protagonist, offering a unique perspective in the genre. The first book is currently free, and the second and third are on sale for just $0.99 on Kindle. I’ve read and enjoyed the first two installments, and highly recommend grabbing this deal.

I'll need to look up an article on Final. I know Ellison had a raft of stories lined up, but since everything took so long, some authors published elsewhere while others died. So how did they decide what to include at this point? |

The Necessary Beggar by Susan Palwick is $0.75 on Amazon.com
This was given away on Tor.com in 2019, so you might already have it. This new edition has an introduction by Jo Walton, which you can read in the preview. Quote:
