Goodreads asked Rati Mehrotra:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Rati Mehrotra Glad you asked! I just finished Ninefox Gambit (The Machineries of Empire #1) by Yoon Ha Lee, and next up is definitely the sequel, Raven Stratagem.

I'm currently reading The Obelisk Gate (The Broken Earth Book 2) by N.K. Jemisin, which is fantastic. The last book in the trilogy will be out in August, so I'm looking forward to that.

For lighter fare, I'm going middle-grade this summer, with the 5-book series "The Chronicles of Prydain", and a retelling of the Persian epic poem "The Shahnameh". Something to share with the kids!

I'm also reading this fat, heavy, illustrated book called "Medieval Warfare" as well as "The Art of War" by the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu. Why, you may ask? Research purposes, I answer. To write effectively about battles, one must read about how they were fought.
