And are they just as good? I guess I should have looked at them sooner Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Ilium and Olympus, same author. More straight sci-fi and less literary based sci-fi, is pretty much any of the "culture series" books by Iain M. Banks, for that sprawling space opera feel. "Use of Weapons" is probably one of my all time favorites books, ever. |

They are, they read the same so if you enjoy his writing style it'll be worth it just for that. It's also a tighter story, and packs a LOT into just two biggish books vs the four of Hyperion/ Endymion series. More straight sci-fi and less literary based sci-fi, is pretty much any of the "culture series" books by Iain M. Banks, for that sprawling space opera feel. "Use of Weapons" is probably one of my all time favorites books, ever. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The Stormlight Archives series by Brandon Sanderson is my favorite. The characters are so well developed that the payoff feels special, like you know the characters personally. It is fantasy though.

ETA and I totally agree, great characters and the reason my OP says I'll consider fantasy even though I prefer sci-fi! |
