In Topic: Reading at t'moment?

I finished up my reread of the main REVELATION SPACE trilogy yesterday with ABSOLUTION GAP. I know it's been a decade since I've read that book but I'm really surprised at what I remembered about it and what I had somehow managed to forget.
Spoiler
Long story short, I forgot how *weird* this last book got. I'll be continuing with this universe soon with the Perfect Dreyfuss novels but next up is Sebastien de Castell's first book in the Greatcoats sequel series PLAY OF SHADOWS. I thought the interlude novel CRUCIBLE OF CHAOS was really enjoyable so I'm really looking forward to this one. -

Sorry, I accidentally deleted this when I went to edit it. I just wanted mention I'm moving this here from the "Has anybody read" thread. I also wanted to clarify that I'm reading this in ded-tree so audiobook mileage may vary.

Nope, am rather curious whether you stick w it.
I found the first one slow as well, but it was a well constructed pace that didn't lose or bore me even if i had to adjust my usual preferences, which, to be fair, was exactly what i was looking for at the time. Maybe just wrong time for this read?
I have decided to stick with this and made some more progress into it over the last couple of days. I'm right around the halfway mark. I want to see how this wraps itself up but enough parts have started shifting into place over the last hundred pages that I do find myself more engaged than I had been.
At this point I think I'm going to end up liking the book, but not loving it like I did the first. -

Next up, Carol Berg's SONG OF THE BEAST.
I've actually got this one queued up for the near future as well. I'm curious to see your thoughts on it because it's a reread for me, but it's been 15-20 years since I read it so my recollection is limited to vague positive vibes.
As for myself, I'm all over the place as usual but I've been working my way through VanderMeer's excellent AREA X books again in preparation for the new book due out in Oct (stateside) and I'm currently working on THE MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES narrated by Stephen Fry. Fry did a narrated omnibus of the Holmes books and while the books themselves are good, his narration just elevates the whole thing. -

Holy crap, it's BK! Good to see you pop in.
Been reading anything interesting lately?
