Right now I'm reading "The Mirror and the Light," the final installment in Hilary Mantel's trilogy about the life and intrigues of Thomas Cromwell, right-hand man--fixer and consigliere--to King Henry VIII. Mantel does an astonishing job of recreating an era that's fascinated me since I learned that rhyme about Henry's wives (Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived) when I was a kid. Next on my TBR list is another final volume in a trilogy, this one fantasy: S.A. Chakraborty's "The Empire of Gold," which draws on Islamic folklore to create a magical world unlike anything I've encountered before. Plus there's a love triangle! What's not to love?
