If anybody is looking for a trippy standalone light read I just finished Water Moon and enjoyed it
About a chick who runs her dad’s pawn shop which exists in a different dimension and takes in peoples past regrets. Her dad goes missing and she goes on an Alice in wonderland type trip through this realm to find him finding out secrets of her world along the way. Pretty entertaining. I was looking for something exactly like this after finished 3k pages of Shelby foote’s civil war trilogy lol

I finished Expeditionary Force: Ground State today. That was quite the 4-month journey. Now I guess have to play the waiting game like everyone else.
Next up is There Is No Antimemetics Division. So far it’s pretty weird, in a good way.

Finished Empire of the Vampire trilogy. Loved it. Sex scenes were a bit much sometimes but it every book was great. On to finishing Carl

It's not really BAD... it just didn't strike me like the first one did. In reading reddit on it, some people REALLY like it and some people don't. Hopefully you'll enjoy it! Definitely don't not read it based on my experience. I was also sort of ready to get into a different series. I might go back to it in the future and try it again.
I'm currently on the epilogue of Children of Ruin. I wouldn't recommend you going back to it. It's very predictable. The second half was quite a slog. I doubt that I continue the series unless I'm completely out of other options to read.

The evolved squid just didn’t do it for me like the spiders. Also really disliked the alien group mind thingy… but damn that was some serious body horror in the first part when it started inhabiting the humans.

I know several pages back James Islington's 2 trilogies were talked about. Was thinking about making these my next fantasy read once i finish some of Denis Johnson's stuff. Without going back and digging how were these?

Also curious about Islington. Not on Kindule Unlimited, so I'd actually have to purchase the kindle versions. Just want to make sure they're good.
Also: love me some Denis Jonson. I don't think I've read anything he put out since Tree of Smoke. Might have to dig back in.

James Islington's 2 trilogies
I read them last year and recommend both.
The Licanius trilogy is complete. It’s more traditional fantasy. Cool characters, magic system, and world-building.
There are two books of the Hierarchy series so far. The most recent one released in Nov 2025. I believe he has four planned. It has some fantasy elements, but I think it leans more sci-fi compared to Licanius.
