Blood of the Old Kings, by Sung-Il Kim (translated by Anton Hur). Absolutely fabulous fantasy novel -- it's an about folks in an empire literally powered by the dead, and the folks fighting against its worst excesses. Very strange, mythological magic and excellent ethical through-line. This is a reread for me before I dive into the sequel.

Sounds interesting. Last fiction book I read recently was Snowcrash. It is cheesy but was a fun cyberpunk book.
