I haven’t read too much high fantasy in my life, so maybe that’s why I’m mostly enjoying it. I’ve decided I haven’t been reading enough for many years, so this year that’s changing. At 13 books so far I think! Was looking for sci-fi recommendations online and this trilogy was one I hadn’t heard of. Think I might go down the Hugo & Nebula award winners list for a while.
You can’t go wrong with the classics. I’m a big fan of Asimov’s I, Robot and Foundation. Le Guin’s Hanish Cycle is fantastic, particularly The Dispossessed. I loved Dune and Ender’s Game (although their sequels are mid).
If you want some pop SciFi, try Timothy Zhan’s Hier to the Empire or Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina. The Bobverse was also a lot of fun.
On the fantasy side, I’ve got a deep fondness for Raymond E. Fiest’s Magician series, although I’ll admit the later books in the series don’t hold up as well as the first few trilogies.
Thank you! I actually read the very first magician a long time ago; a friend we visited while traveling lent it to me. Now I know there’s a trilogy I’ll have to check it out!

Do you have any sci-fi/fantasy recommends?

Also, huge nerd for H.P. Lovecraft
