Finally, the fifth book of Stormlight Archive! Absolute tome of a book, journey before destination! I think it could be a few hundred pages shorter though. Its focus on mental health and the use of modern terminologies threw me off a little bit. Every PoV character has their own struggle and I feel joy when they did their best to overcome it. I also love the depiction that healing process is not all sunshine and no cure-all. Best Sanderlanche moments too!

Finally finished first trilogy of RoTE. The emotional devastation is real.

Finished Blindsight by Peter Watts. What a refreshing take on alien life for a first contact novel! It's a mind-blowing book full of cool concepts about sentience and human mind. The non-linear story might be confusing at first and the world-building was shown in glimpses of flashbacks. Each of characters has their own speciality for their role in making first contact. I had difficulty imagining the scenes, but the story is so fascinating to read.

My last book for October is Children of Ruin. A spooky sci-fi for spooky month!

It's not as mind-blowing as the first book, but it will still screw with your mind. The tone shifted into horror in the middle and I enjoy it.

Some of characters from previous book also made appearance. I love how they grow from last book.

Now I'll take a break before reading the final book in the trilogy.
