What does "&c" mean? It's an old-fashioned abbreviation for et cetera.

I just finished Death Masks by Jim Butcher, 5th book of The Dresden Files. Really enjoying the series.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening?

Looking forward to the grand finale thats building up rn and what comes next in HoA then!

My pet peeves are the interchangeable/inconsequential nature of soothing and rioting, elend whining to himself for pages on end ("why oh why can't i protect literally everyone in the entire world at the same time, personally?!") and honestly sometimes the somewhat clumsy writing. Might just be me in the last point.

While Mistborn is a great entry point into Sanderson for many people, to me, it really feels like a freshman effort. I can't ever bring myself to do a full reread of those books, as they don't feel as polished or as well put together as his later work. Well of Ascension especially feels like it's there because a trilogy needs a middle book.
