What are you reading/listening to this week? (October 18th, 2023)
The African Samurai by Craig Shreve.
It's a brisk read and is (disappointingly) more of an insight into 16th-century Japan than East Africa, but it's good.

Any characters in books you've read that just annoyed the hell out of you for seemingly no reason?
Shallan is one of the worst characters I've encountered in fiction. I just don't think Sanderson has the chops to make that type of character work, because "Wit" is an eyeroll-factory, too.
