The War Arts Saga by Wesley Chu has been a fun and subversive road. Here’s hoping the trilogy ends with the bang it deserves. Can’t wait.

I received a copy of The Art of Legend by @wesleychu.bsky.social yesterday from Daphne Press which is the last book in the War Arts Saga & I am in love with how these covers match perfectly!

I have read The Art of Prophecy and absolutely loved it, I can’t wait to read the next two books!

My flight home to LA from Salt Lake City got canceled due to hail (thanks Frontier!) and the next flight isn’t until 7 AM tomorrow morning. I guess sleeping at the airport tonight.

It’s a good thing I brought my Pickleball paddle. Time to work on my backhand.
