Fantasy/sci-fi people of Mastodon! Looking for inspirational fiction, preferably novel(s); fantasy preferred, sci-fi welcome; political drama with a dash of epicness; not based on Western medievalism nor Tolkienesque; preferably focused on humans rather than elves, dwarves etc (though this isn't required).
Any recommendations that might hit any or all of these?
@auguryignored Gideon the 9th by Tamsyn Muir checks all those boxes. Sci-fi and fantasy as a bonus.
@insipidutopian I really wanted to love that book, but it fell so incredibly flat for me. I might re-read it in a few years to give it another shot
@auguryignored I didn't know what to expect from it, and it was probably the last real page turner for me. I read the next two in the series and they were more meh for me, but Gideon really got all of my attention. Good luck with your book quest, hope you find it.
