Steel Gods delivered everything I wanted from a fantasy horror sequel and then some. In this weekly reading update I talk about a darker than expected follow-up that absolutely wrecked me, two perfect recovery reads that each hit in completely different ways, and what I'm diving into next.

📚 Books Mentioned:
Finished:
Steel Gods (The Great Silence #2) by Richard Swan
The Hearth Witch's Guide to Magic and Murder by Kiri Callaghan
The Hunter by K. Aagard

Reading Next:
The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart
