Two books: "Paradise Lost" by John Milton and Jim Butcher's, "The Olympian Affair," sequel to his, "The Aeronaut's Windlass." I bit off more than I can chew with Milton, the language used is just too flowery and archaic for me and it's been a slog to read, but at the same time I get most of his references and the general meaning if not exactly so, and it's on my "ought to read cover to cover" list so I'll get there eventually. The Olympian Affair is an absolute treat. Airships, magic, and people talking with cats. Just enough kitsch to have fun with, without fully turning my brain off. I've got mixed feelings about the map at the start of the book plainly being the Eastern US seaboard where instead of the setting being an imagined world, it's clear that it's our own after some cataclysm and that feels a little cliché and hacky to me.
