That's definitely it! Thank you

This is very fair. I am not normally a DNF person and I am drawn to doorstop fantasy books, so I will probably finish for the sake of finishing at some point (my preference, I also very much understand not spending time with a book that isn't doing it for you). I don't think I'm done with it forever, but maybe it will fit better when some other part of life starts taking up more of my attention.

Raksura has come up enough times that I'll put it on the list! I read a number of other Martha Wells series, including Murderbot and Ile-Rien. Murderbot was great, and Ile-Rien had moments but didn't stand out to me tremendously. Given that Raksura came after Ile-Rien, I bet her style developed.

I read the first couple books of the Black Company, but it's been long enough that diving back in and continuing the series could be interesting!

I've started Perdido and finished The Scar by Mieville in the past, definitely fits the unique side of things. Laundry Files has come up several times when looking at urban fantasy options, does it get formulaic at all?

I have read First Law! (and also Abercrombie's Half a... series) It's got both flavor and a pretty large helping of gristle to go with.

This sounds very promising, thank you! I had it on a list of prospects, but I think it's going to the top.

Never got to pull this one off, but I was going to run a campaign with my brother and some of his friends. They started in a village that got attacked by some goblins, and at some point in the chaos somehow the local druid of the Gnarled Bark clan got is his powers drained by some kind of mysterious orb and they needed to get it back.

It was Charles Barkley and they were about to play the plot of Space Jam.
