I love sci-fi books, but I find it really hard to get into the ones that are super long and focus on politics or actual science. I tend to prefer more modern ones that focus on the story. I love Emily St John Mendel, Station Eleven is one of my favorite books, and I really liked Sea of Tranquility. I also enjoyed Annihilation, Electric Kindom, The Dreamers, and The Loneliest Girl in the Universe. I’m in a bit of a reading slump and I need a good book to pull me out of it 🙁

Kate Elliott’s “Unconquerable Sun” series (gender-bent Alexander the Great space opera) approaches its sci-fi setting a bit like Star Wars, with a degree of mysticism and unexplained tech.
Greg Mandell series, Peter F. Hamilton
**Mindstar Rising**
**The Quantum Murder**
**The Nano Flower**
Octavia Butler – Dawn (weird alien sci FI – amazing world building) and the Parables books (post-apocalyptic) Both are phenomenal
