This is a collection of books. However, if I’m remembering correctly, each book in the collection can be read separately. They do not depend on the previous entries.

Whenever anyone asks which book setting I wish I could live in and explore, this is my answer: The Culture, by Ian M. Banks. Each book describes a fascinating universe with complex politics and relatively unique powers/characters.

That’s awesome! I’m thinking of making a new blanket. Maybe I’ll try some granny squares
