To some extent reading/listening in general was on the back burner in favor of other activities, but there was also a lot more war and a lot less building in this one, and it was the civilization building that really sold the first one for me.

I'm two nights into The Magic Engineer (Recluce #3), which I'm finding more engaging. I grabbed Red Mars for my Kindle, too, and I do have the audiobook, so it might get in the mix. I've listened to it before but not read it, so this time I want to stick mostly to text for a closer read and then maybe move on to the sequels.
I found the Lost Regiment series to be on of those series that I enjoyed reading a whole lot more than I enjoyed listening to. I wish that I could find it in ebook. I will say that the series tailed off dramatically by the 5th or 6th book. That could be because there was a 5 year gap between the 4th and 5th book. I don't think I every read the last couple of books.
