What does "&c" mean? It's an old-fashioned abbreviation for et cetera.

Just started listening to Respawn by Arthur Stone because my SO wanted me to try it. Haven't made up my mind about it yet.

Need to remember to read Frankenstein, which a friend lent to me. It's a good book but I keep forgetting to actually read, since I mostly do audiobooks.

Really looking forward to Dungeon Crawler Carl book 6 which will come out in September I think.

If someone can recommend me a book where magic is used and studied/understood like science that would be great. I really enjoyed most of Lightbringer, Codex Alera and a lot of Brandon Sanderson's books and I'd like to read more of this type.

I haven't read Dungeon Crawler Carl yet, but that should fit your criteria right? Many of the progression fantasy books usually have a magic system with tangible tiers and usually rules are known too.

Cradle by Will Wight and Mage Errant by John Bierce are both complete series and I'd put their magic system as hard. Mage Errant dives deeper into the workings, especially as the main characters are students and one of their teachers is especially knowledgeable. Arcane Ascension by Andrew Rowe is another series with such academy focus and a progression magic system.
