I'm referring to when you said part 3, specifically the terms used.

Accidently started the wrong book for the Witcher. The one I started had season 2 elements in it.

Yes my brother got me eight book set of the The Witcher.
I got nothing to say here.

Recently reread Farenhiet 451 after a couple of decades. Good story and some of it eerily foreshadows things in today's world.

Rise of Nagash trilogy, I reread it every few years. One of my favorite fantasy series, I love a properly evil set of protagonists with no redeeming qualities. Heroes with just enough likability to give their destruction some piquancy. Lots of appropriately bone-dry humor.

Plus it's one of the few military fantasy stories that actually cares about logistics and has the leaders have their decisions shaped by them, which is always nice. It's actually kind of odd that it's so rare, Tolkein did it really well and everything else he did got copied to death.
