Finished up the Empty Grave. I definitely enjoyed it. It will be interesting to see what Stroud comes up with next. He was written two excellent and fairly unique series, The Bartimaeus series and Lockwood & Co.

I've been listening to the Storm before the Storm at work. It's every bit as good as I thought it would be. Mike Duncan reads it in his podcast voice, which is well practiced and very listenable. This particular time period in Roman history, the time period between the fall of Carthage and Corinth in 146 BC until the death of Sulla in 78 BC is known but little written about, yet it set the plate for Caesar's rise. Duncan has a real talent for making history accessible.
