Quoth the Raven "I love the power glove. It's so bad..."
after i mostly quit drinking i started reading a lot more because i was just bored with video games. ive been focusing on books with interesting magic systems. i like sci fi too,

also going to promote kobo as a place to also buy books digitally. they have lots of deals and some of the books are drm free

incoming :

children of time: sci fi. modified animals that create their own society. i only read the first 2 so far, but different species in each.

foundryside: very good. female MC. magic is kind of like programming, and essentially the MC interacts with it unique to the world.

Unnatural Magic: the sequel is Ruthless Ladys Guide to Wizardry. i dont know if they are considered together, but it follows the same characters (ish). more romance based but described troll life as a sort of hippy-ogre (in my mind). female MCs

Malevolent Seven: Male MC who is able to use magic because he made a deal with a devil. i think most magic has to come from somewhere else for humans. devil/angels are among the races. implies a sequel but nothing yet

Black Prism: magic comes from lights and colors. very good. 5 books. DO NOT MISS

A Deadly Education: wizard school. magic is eaten by creatures and essentially wizards dump their kids in a "school" the locks down until graduation, to protect them from the world. if they cant survive too bad. but of course creatures come in. female mc

just started Ninth House. i think its wizard illuminati.

tom holt is also good for contemporary fantasy. and i like chuck palakniuk.
