Still Reading The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson. His fourth and final standalone Cosmere "secret project" novel.

About halfway through, not much more to add.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Just started Isles of the Emberdark. Just realized that outside of manga I've been reading nothing but Sanderson novels for a good bit

I haven't read the short story this is based on, is it completely stand alone or based on some other novels?

It can stand alone I think, but it also is pretty deep in his expanded universe. I've only just gotten into act 2 and there's stuff that ties into other stories, some of which I haven't read, and I'm still enjoying it. Definitely no worries about missing the short story though as he sprinkles it in as flash backs in act 1 of the story.
