Murder mystery (or any kind of mystery or crime story) tends to bore me silly. I can handle noir detective elements if they're liberally slathered in another genre's gravy (e.g. The Dresden Files). SF/F is pretty much the only genre or commercial fiction that holds my attention, with occasional asides into supernatural horror. On audio it's almost strictly fantasy, with Foreigner an exception of sorts (it reads like fantasy for the most part). I mostly reserve my eyeball reading for hard sci-fi and literary/experimental/absurdist stuff.
I did finish up Convergence and... it was fine. It was more paidhi, and interesting material, but it did not read like the wrap-up of the current arc, but like the start of the next one.
I've moved on to Sanderson's Arcanum Unbounded. The first novella is a re-listen, but I think the rest will be new to me.
