"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

GRRM & Gardner Dozois's Rogues anthology is $1.99 on Amazon US: https://www.amazon.c...uct/B00IWTTPOI/
Neal Asher's Dark Intelligence is $1.99 as well. This is a fantastic trilogy, but I definitely recommend reading all three in a row, as they're pretty pretty dense. (I tended to forget about a lot of stuff between books.) https://www.amazon.c...uct/B00P6U51SK/

You can get the first five novels of Max Gladstone's Craft sequence for $9.05 (or each book separately for $2.99, including the just-released sixth, linked to in the related books).
Same deal on Kobo.
If you haven't started this series yet, I feel like it's time.
