Looking for a great fiction book, what do you all recommend?
Can be any genre, I prefer to read thriller, crime and starting on fantasy. I’ve thought about Red Rising, The Devils, Nightshade, and Project Hail Mary. Any suggestions welcome.
I can vouch for Red Rising and Project Hail Mary. I will say if you start with Red Rising, be prepared to want to read the next five books immediately. That’s what happened to me, couldn’t put them down.

Out of the ones on your list, I’ve only read Red Rising and Project Hail Mary. I thought they were both good.
You might also like:
* We Are Satellites by Sarah Pinsker. I think this author has an easily readable writing style. This is sci fi set in the near future, unlike Red Rising or Project Hail Mary.
* Dragon’s Egg by Robert L. Forward. This is very similar to Project Hail Mary, so if you end up liking it, you might like this too
* Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty. A sci fi murder mystery in space, which you might like since you prefer to read crime.
* Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre. Sci fi that has the feel of fantasy.
* Rocannon’s World by Ursula K. Le Guin. Sci fi that has the feel of fantasy.
* A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher. Fun fantasy
* Sabriel by Garth Nix. Fantasy

Pachinko by min Jin Lee. I will re read. I remember reading this all day on my Paris trip. I couldn’t go anyway but went to several cafe just to finish this book. I would read for 1.5 hrs then walk for 2hr then read again etc.
