The 99% Invisible City by Mars & Kohlstedt is a great collection of short articles (most 2 pages or less), revealing details about cities, buildings, foundations, and particularly what’s hidden below. A great overview of many interesting topics.
Peace Talks by Jim Butcher (Dresden 16). A tense book, showing the consequences of Harry’s allegiances, with an excellent curve ball near the beginning that makes life even more complicated. Tough choices, consequences continue.
Battle Ground by Jim Butcher (Dresden Files 17) — Focused and relentless; slow starting with several twists and dramatic and consequential developments. Some cursing the author in good ways, lots of tough developments. Harry’s quite unmoored by the end.
After Hastings by Steven Silver (3/5). A fascinating “What If” for Harold defeating William in 1066. I was surprised by division within England at the time. Sadly, it was harder to empathize with the main characters due to their alien sounding names.
