      @ndc Yes im actually re reading Revelation Space. I read the Revelation Space trilogy a while ago, but then learned there were about half a dozen others in the universe, outside that story. So now im reading again starting at book one.

        Shadow of Victory, the latest in the Honor Harrington Saganami Island series. One of the better space operas. I forget how many different series of books are set in the same universe now, let alone the total number of books.

          I enjoyed it early on, but it has gotten slower and slower as the books wind on. I'd like to see him just wrap up things and open up the universe to other authors.

            At least one whole series is by other authors. I think it's the Crown of Slaves series.... yep, at least according to wikipedia those are all Eric Flint. A good number of other authors have gotten involved over the years, but David Weber has always done the main story line himself. I'm a sucker for the series at this point, and will continue to purchase digital copies of all the books. At least I realize you shouldn't trust my judgement in this case.

              Oh, don't get me wrong. I've read all of the books more than once. I've just gotten tired of how slowly the pace has begun to crawl as he jumps back and forth across the galaxy following a Jordian number of characters and plot threads.

                  Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone is available on Libby (Overdrive library app) without waiting until September 10th on the off chance that you haven't already read it. (You have read it, RIGHT?) 🙂

                    I'm most of the way through the latest release now, and I don't think the story has advanced one iota. I do enjoy the backstories that get done, but wish those would be kept to one of the spin-off series.

                            @kelly I started that series a long time ago but never got far. Read a couple books I think. I need to get back to it.

                                More than 2 decades ago. Not recently enough to remember much. Has it aged well?

                                  Any one have a book recommendation for something sci-fi but also fantasy? Anything good in that space?

                                        They're in the B range of books, but L.E. Modesitt's Timegod series might fit that category. Sort of. I think you're going to have to go to books written prior to 2000 or so to find a space where people thought more imaginatively. Most writers today feel that they have to thoroughly explain their worlds and have them hang together, so it is difficult to find blendings of magic and SciFi.

                                          Perhaps you have an example or two that you have read and enjoyed to help us along?
