After I finished Sense of Evil, I got a couple of books I had put on hold at the library. I had bought a book at a sale and discovered it was book 3 of a trilogy. :/

So I read ExpandFlex ), ExpandThe Flux ),

and ExpandFix ) by Ferrett Steinmetz.

It's an alternate universe series, WWII still happened, but it was a war between 'Mancers instead of Nazis. Europe is pretty much uninhabitable, but the main story takes place in America, so it's not really important other than it being used as a fear tactic. This had a very X-Men feel to it, only with magic instead of mutations.

Overall, it was an ok series, I feel like some parts were glossed over and could have been done better. The end felt a little disappointing, but I don't know if there are more books planned that will fix that or not. It's a relatively new series, the last book was released in 2016, so it's possible.

After I finished Fix, I decided to try and read ExpandPandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton ). I haven't gotten very far yet. I'm a bit confused at the moment. Astronauts landed on Mars, weird things happen and then suddenly there's a time jump? I think? I don't know. Suddenly we're on another planet with different characters and nothing has been mentioned of the Mars landing. I'm hoping it comes together at some point.
