This author actually has a Youtube channel, which I found first. He's a terrific storyteller on there, and then I found out he's also written some novels. This is the first of his that I'm reading, and it's really good so far. He's every bit as talented at writing as at telling stories verbally.
I just started a series recommended by a friend Throne of Glass by Sarah Maas. I'm on book 2 and hooked! It's been a minute since I've read anything that doesn't just help put me to sleep. It's definitely a book about magic and fae times... so, not everyone's cup of tea.
