Books read, 2024

After years of having it recommended to me, I finally read The Lies of Locke Lamora, which was — as promised — one of my favorite fantasy novels of all time.

Unfortunately for Locke Lamora, I also read The Bright Sword in 2025, which is easily one of the best books I’ve ever read. An astonishingly good book and, like Lonesome Dove, a book that transcends its genre (in this case, Arthurian fantasy). I cannot recommend it highly enough.
