The Magicians
Incredibly well done adult fantasy that subverts the tropes of Magic School and Magical Fantasy Lands.
Really nicely hit a spot.

Before They Are Hanged
Second of the First Law trilogy takes a group of heroes on a typical fantasy quest through the West in an atypyical way. Meanwhile in the North and South battles and sieges take place and we learn a wee bit more about the strings being pulled behind the scenes.
The Blade Itself
Solidly entertaining debut fantasy novel, first in what promises to be a rather good trilogy
Mockingbird
Intriguing science fiction from the author of The Hustler and The Color Of Money.
It’s a few hundred years in the future and a mankind coddled by robots and lulled into drugged sterility – both mental and physical is dwindling to it’s last generation until a man in Ohio learns to read..
Raising so many ideas about the nature of humanity and the burdens of artificial intelligence this is really a very good bit of science fiction.
