@@ -38,7 +38,8 @@ Obviously this is just stuff *I* like; you might not like it, which isn't really
* [Schlock Mercenary](https://www.schlockmercenary.com/), a *very* long-running space opera webcomic. It's been running for something like 20 years, and the art and such improve over time.
* [Freefall](http://freefall.purrsia.com/), a hard-science-fiction webcomic.
* [Mage Errant](https://www.goodreads.com/series/252085-mage-errant) - a moderately-long-by-now fantasy series with a very vibrant world, and which actually considers the geopolitical implications of there being beings around ("Great Powers") able to act as one-man armies.
* [Arcane Ascension](https://www.goodreads.com/series/201441-arcane-ascension) - fun progression fantasy series with (... like most of these, actually) worldbuilding I like and good characters. I have only read the first two, since I'm writing this just as the third came out
* [Arcane Ascension](https://www.goodreads.com/series/201441-arcane-ascension) - fun progression fantasy series with (... like most of these, actually) worldbuilding I like and good characters. I have only read the first two, since I got distracted and have not read much of the third. Somewhat overly long at times.
* [Void Star](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29939057-void-star) - somewhat weird and good. The prose is very... poetic is probably the best word (it contains phrases like "isoclines of commitment and dread", "concentric and innumerable" and "high empyrean")... which I enjoyed, but it is polarizing. The setting seems like a generally reasonable extrapolation of a bunch of ongoing trends into the future, although it's unclear exactly *when* it is (some of the book implies 2150 or so, but this seems implausible). Its most interesting characteristic is that it absolutely does not tell you what's going on ever: an interview I read said it was written out of order, and that makes sense (another fun quirk of it is that the chapters are generally very short). I think I know most of what happens now, but it has taken a while.
Special mentions (i.e. "I haven't gotten around to reading these but they are well-reviewed and sound interesting") to:
* [The Divine Cities](https://www.goodreads.com/series/159695-the-divine-cities) by Robert Jackson Bennet.
