The Blood Mirror by Brent Weeks. 4th novel of 5 in the Lightbringer series. I started these a couple weeks ago. Very different. I'm not a big fantasy reader but these are enjoyable.

Doctor Sleep by Stephen King. A little curious that it took nearly four decades for a sequel and why The Shining in particular out of that golden period for King of the late 70s/early 80s.
Picks up fairly seemlessly from the first book, then lurches forward to a more contemporary setting and I'm currently in a dull bit with Danny having wandered into a new handyman-type role, just like his daddy.

I found the first half of SATURN RUN a bit plodding, Matt, but the second half was a rocket ride.

Currently reading Caleb Carr's The Alienist, about a psychologist and his team's hunt for a serial child-prostitute killer in turn of the century New York. This boIt was big about ten or twenty years ago, and I eventually picked up a dollar copy at a library book sale, but never cracked it until now. In some ways, I've benefitted from the delay. Theodore Roosevelt, as NY police commissioner, is a character in the book, and about a year ago I read the Doris Kearns Goodwin book on Roosevelt and Taft (for some reason, I'd never read much on Roosevelt) and one of the things she covered was TR's time as police commissioner, so I have some backstory on this. Also read recently the Jack Finney time travel "classic," Time and Again, in which our hero is transported back to 1882 New York. That's a little earlier than the setting of The Alienist, but some of the descriptions of life in the slums of New York City, the corruption of the police department, etc., correlate pretty well.
