You have to be in the right mindset for deep fantasy worldbuilding, but well worth it
The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter, Paperback
A short read and sometimes a tad confusing but I loved the concept. “What happened do the slaves that were thrown off the boat before they landed?”
The Deep: Solomon, Rivers,
Loved the magic system here, the world building is deep and well through out. Insane ride of a story.
The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth, #1) by N.K. Jemisin
When Lovecraft Country get canceled this was my only solace. Black stories mixed with eldritch horrors.
The Ballad of Black Tom: LaValle, Victor
I am obsessed with Octavia Butler, I love her writing style and that all her characters are flawed in meaninful ways.
Wild Seed (Patternist, #1) by Octavia E. Butler
Fantasy murder mystery, like the mix of modern world with fantasy aspects.
Three Parts Dead (Craft Sequence #1) by Max Gladstone
SciFi
Very interesting concept, in the future death doesn't exsist technology can keep people alive indefinitely, there are a group of people called Scythes that “grant” death to people at random.
Arc of a Scythe #1 - Neal Shusterman
Very cool merging of old tradtional African culture with sci-fi technology and ideas
