I was honestly expecting something meatier than it is, but it’s definitely not bad. Fantasy EarthBenders living like singularly typed X-Men in an alternate semi-apocalyptic world is still pretty neat.

Kvaesito: minimal UI with many unique customizations/features.

That’s good to know. I fully intend to go back to both when the time/mood strikes better.

Same boat. Also started & bounced off of The Left Hand of Darkness. Now I’m halfway through The Fifth Season (N.K. Jemisin).

I highly suggest short story collections. There are free ebooks of them (Some of the Best of Tor.com, for example). This way you only sink roughly 10 to 20 pages per story while sampling different authors’ writing styles.

A large barrier for me was finding authors who write in a manner that meshed with the language of how I think. I gravitate to simple declarative language (ex: Kurt Vonnegut, Octavia E Butler, etc).
