Rising Stars of Sci-Fi and Fantasy to Discover Now

"Forget the classic tomes of adult sci-fi and fantasy that are bound to show up in recommendations almost everywhere. (I know a few immediately came to mind.) Now is a great time to start reading emerging authors who are writing the classics-to-be! These new writers have expanded the genre: showcasing more diverse characters, imaginative worlds, and embracing every subgenre possible. The last few years are great proof, bringing us narratives—old and new—from a variety of voices with fun and nuanced approaches."
