P.S. No wonder he likes The Kingkiller Chronicles, lol. The second book of the trilogy was released 15 years ago, and still no sign of the final book.

Scott Lynch keeps popping up when I ask AI for recommendations, it's on the list to eventually read.

Just picked up the latest Murderbot novella though, so on that right now.
