AUdible.com has been a running a 2-for-1 sale since the pandemic kicked in. The books change every week and the sff selection this week is particularly good.
Michael Sullivan, Anthony Ryan, Brent Weeks, RF Kuang, Brian McClellan all have books on there now, most are bk1 in a series. Daniel OMalley's Rook that i raved about a while ago is on there. So is Claire North's First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. Worth a look.

I'm chiming in to recommend this too. The title is a bit "blah", but the story itself is far, far more complex and moving than one would expect for a band of half-orcs in a mean setting.

Absolutely terrific series and I hope you read it.

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

"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?"
―Gene Wolfe, The Citadel of the Autarch

Nonono, that was the THIRD book.
The final one that ended the series. In three books.

There have been at least two fun short stories i think. One of them was in a LEGENDS anthology.
