I’m currently reading through the “Starship’s mage” series by Glynn Stewart, he writes more or less exactly the kind of books that I like, kind of pulpy entertaining competency porn where most of the people are nice to each other. And it does feel kind of refreshing since so many books the last years feel so bleak to me.
I think so at least, they are well written, the characters are good, and there is a warmth in them between people that is really good. I also really enjoyed the duchy of terra series that I’ve read of him, after having read 18 books by him I have to say I really enjoy his writing, it’s not so complex, but entertaining and well paced, I’d say at least give one or two a try :)

I feel you on so many books right now being super bleak. I don’t love the grimdark trend.
I’ve been thinking about reading the Starship’s Mage books for a while, are they worth picking up?
