Sure. 'The Expanse' series by James S.A. Corey is really good. It has great space opera elements, with political intrigue and complex characters. Another is 'Uprooted' by Naomi Novik. It combines elements of fairy - tale and high - fantasy in a fresh way. And 'Red Rising' by Pierce Brown is a must - read. It's set in a future where society is highly stratified and the story follows a young man's journey to break free from the oppression.
Of course. 'The Calculating Stars' by Mary Robinette Kowal is a wonderful modern sci - fi novel. It's about an alternate history where a meteorite strike forces humanity to focus on space exploration, especially led by female astronauts. 'Six of Crows' by Leigh Bardugo is a great blend of fantasy and heist story. It has a diverse cast of characters and a really engaging plot. And 'The Light Brigade' by Kameron Hurley is a mind - bending military sci - fi with a time - travel twist.
