Science Fiction

Just finished books 1-7 of The Starsea Cycle by Kyle West. Pretty good stuff, kind of a mix of sci-fi and fantasy. Looking forward to the upcoming release of book 8.

In the meantime I'm reading the Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown. Currently on book 4 with 2 more to go. Really enjoying it, but kinda feeling ready for something a little more toward the hard-scifi area.

Once I'm done with those I think I'll go reread A Fire Upon the Deep by Vinge, I think it's probably my favorite book and it's been a few years since I read it.

I really enjoy the books by Peter F Hamilton, my favourites being Pandora's Star and it's sequel Judas Unchained.

The worlds he creates are just so detailed and interesting to read about, and of course the story is very compelling

The Black Sun books by Rebecca Roanhorse. Technically fantasy more than Sci-fi, but really refreshing and well written.

I just finished Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke and it was great!

Asimov sagas

I am rereading Malazan Book of the Fallen. Just started the fourth book, House of Chains.

The start of this book is the hardest for me to get through. The first couple of chapters are really boring to me and it's only after

spoiler

Karsa is captured and Torvald Nom is introduced

that I start getting into the story. The rest of the book is phenomenal, of course.

Edit: damn, is there no other spoiler option that just greys out the words?

Currently reading The Best of World SF 2. It's nice to see how sci-fi has influenced other authors around the globe.

Working on the Texcalaan series by Arkady Martine. The universe is fascinating and the cultural imagination is a great way to look at our own with fresh eyes. I'm about halfway through book two and enjoying thoroughly.

About to start an engineering degree so I'm reading Wiring Simplified lol highly recommend

I'm rereading, after along time, Druss the Legend.

Once I'm done with that I'll work my through all of Gemmels other books.

Probably only relevant to German readers, I'm currently enjoying "Sanctum" from a series by Markus Heitz. He made a trilogy about werewolves and one about vampires, both are great if you're into spooky stuff, action and a bit of fictional violence. ;) Personally, I think that the Judas trilogy (the one about vampires) is written slightly better and a more fluent story arc, so if you only would give one of them a try and you're not an absolute werewolf fan, I'd start with "Kinder des Judas".
