I'm a big fan of Christian / Miles Cameron and looking forward to a new fantasy book :)
Description:
Bekka Trevelyan is an arcanist, and the first woman to be made a Gentleman Scholar of Arcany at the University of Kabakak. Her graduate work was in refining a device to measure the potency of the winds of magic. Over her Yule holidays from teaching, she travels east on a field trip to test her theory about the Winds in the true Wyld. Instead, she finds herself swept up in the investigation of a kidnapping of an indigenous woman and her child by a demon that has possessed the body of a tracker.
Tam Warden was a war hero, and then a sort of government enforcer. He gave up rank and fame to marry across class lines. But government isn't done with him yet. He's called back to action to investigate Bekka's claims - discreetly. This is delicate work, because the truth could unbalance the nation.
Essa Bateman is a mercenary spy, a hard woman with no attachments and very few ethics. Few, it turns out, is more than 'none.' She sees the ripples of unrest from the underbelly of society, but deciding what to do about them is a different beast entirely.
In a world where gunpowder is manufactured from the souls of executed criminals, and the ultra-rich seek immortality at any price, where children labour in factories and the desperate poor turn to vampirism, where slavery is rampant and gangs rule the streets...
A few people are about to be heroes. They just don't know it yet.
But maybe, just maybe, the Revolution is coming.
I'd love to hear any suggestions for someone like him :)

I keep being recommended to him and trying to figure out where to start...
Military sci-fi is one of my fav escapism, and I'd love some recs.
The image is from Tyler E. C. Burnworth's recommendations on his favorite sci-fi novels and I've tried all these:

Author Nick Wisseman shared his favorite historical fantasy books, and I realized this is not an area I read much in fantasy, and I'd love to hear your favorites.

Any book recs with a heavy dose of AI?
I loved Gridlinked by Neal Asher and need suggestions.
Trying to see where AI goes from here, possibly, and want to explore what sci-fi thinks.

This book is fantastic, and I highly recommend it. I read it in two sittings.
The book takes place after WW1, and the main character is a scarred/broken soldier who now specializes in recovering children that the Fae still take from mothers. The story expands from there. It is dark and violent, set in a fantastic world.
It's like the Brothers Grimm, but like the original German texts, the incredibly dark and violent parts. If you like Dresden or Rivers of London, I think you will dig it.
Worth a look!
Anyone else read it? Or Altered Carbon?
Hi all,
I'm a sci-fi reader, and I wanted something to track what I'm reading that isn't a social network, lets me keep private notes, and shows all my reading history for that series/author.
Would you be interested in testing it?
If so, just email me at ben@bookdna.com or DM me and I'll set you up :)
Quick heads-up: it's desktop only for now (mobile's coming later this year), so use a computer or tablet. And it doesn't have imports from Goodreads or StoryGraph yet (coming in a few months).
Thanks, Ben
Found it on their list and I was curious... https://bookdna.com/best-books/sci-fi-for-visiting-alien-worlds
Author Marie Brennan shared her favorite fantasy novels based on folklore from around the world, and I wanted to hear what you would add to this list?
Any good fantasy books based on folklore?
I'm trying to build up a big list with as many countries/cultures as possible.
