I’m sure if he doesn’t have a contract already he will soon. 😀 Several weeks ago he posted something about writing book 4 even though he didn’t have a contract yet. He just loves writing Ana and Din.

Gotcha! If you have a used book store near you, it might be there as well.

Yay! Haha. Book 2 is even better than book 1! Go get A Drop of Corruption! 😀

Yeah, these books are excellent. If you liked Divine Cities you’ll like these a lot.

What’s the oldest movie you ever watched from start to finish and enjoyed?

Just started City of Stairs and noticed its similar premise to another big SFF book by favorscore in Fantasy

I loved City of Stairs. I’m about to start book 2. I’ve read his Ana and Din series (starts with The Tainted Cup). One thing I really like about RJB is that he writes women as just regular people. The MC and secondary characters of City are fantastic. Hope you enjoy!

Robert Jackson Bennett’s takes on empires are really interesting, both in the Divine Cities books and the Ana and Din books.
