SciFi and Fantasy Book Club discussion

What books fo the last 3 years would you recommend to others? I just got into epic fantasy so I wanna get some suggestions, but any fantasy or sci-fi is fine.

Anthony Ryan Raven Shadow trilogy. Some of the books you didnt like are ones I didnt like. Didnt read alot of books you read and liked though.

Thanks

And yeah, don't worry about what you think I'll like. Just tell me what you think is worthy of note.

The Blade Itself and the other books in the trilogy by Joe Abercrombie published in 2015
and
Blackthorne and its sequel by Stina Leicht plus the Fey and the Fallen two book series by the same author

Just read the preview for the first The Malorun Gates. It's pretty interesting. Added to my read list, thanks!

There are a couple Fantasy request threads you might want to check out.

I'd recommend The Warded Man series, as well as the Riyria Chronicle: Theft of Swords.

Ones I've really enjoyed over recent years: Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy Boxed Set, and Dark Matter by Blake Crouch.

Yeah, now that I realize that I like world building(I thought I didn't, it's actually infodumping I don't like.) I'll probably check out Mistborn. Dark Matter sounds beyond awesome. gonna go start it now, thanks!

You're welcome. I wish I could read Dark Matter for the first time again.

These are some of the ones I really enjoy.

Complete fantasy series:
The Broken Earth by N.K. Jemisin starting with The Fifth Season

Incomplete scifi series:
The Machineries of Empire by Yoon Ha Lee starting with Ninefox Gambit
(final book coming out in June 2018)

Ongoing scifi series:
Wayfarers by Becky Chambers starting with The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
(companion novels, next one coming out June 2018)

Ongoing (?) fantasy novella series:
Penric and Desdemona by Lois McMaster Bujold starting with Penric's Demon
(sixth one just came out and it wraps things up nicely, I don't think there's going to be a new one very soon, but someday possibly)

Incomplete scifi novella series:
Binti by Nnedi Okorafor starting with Binti
(final part coming out Jan 2018)

I second the suggestions for The Broken Earth and Wayfarer series.

As a one-off scifi book, I really enjoyed Children of Time

Wow...I just finished it.
This is probably the best book I have read in my life.
Than you! Just...thank you!

Sounds interesting, but does it have ship on ship combat? Because for the life of me I'm not able to imagine it.

Aw man, no preview, that's usually how I determine whether I read something or not.

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet isn't really that type of story. It focuses more on the characters and their relationships.

"Aw man, no preview, that's usually how I determine whether I read something or not."

Ninefox Gambit starts out really weird and some people have been put off by that. It doesn't explain anything, you're just thrown into something amazingly bizarre and to me that's part of why it's so good. The sequel is way easier to understand, but it loses part of it's appeal because it's more like any other book. Still good, but I missed the weirdness. You could try the short stories to see if you like the world, although, if I remember correctly, they aren't half as baffling as Ninefox. The Battle of Candle Arc is available online for free, it's the first story written in this world.
