who commented on our post “Join me on the Dark Side- The fabulous world of Science Fiction“:

Do I love SF? HAH! The only reason I even started reading fantasy was because the library shelved it with the SF. I am a SF junkie.

I (typically) started with Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series back in elementary school. But now my tastes have matured (which basically means the covers of the books I am reading now involve fewer chicks straddling the back of a dragon).

Doris Egan’s Gate of Ivory trilogy is spectacular. As is all of Sheri Tepper’s earlier works (not too crazy about her current novel).

I’ve just recently discovered Adam Troy Castro – a lawyer in space. What’s not to love?

If you go more for the lyrical writing styles, and are only just branching off of urban fantasy, then I’d recommend Solstice by Ulisses Silva or Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls by …..someone whose name I can’t recall. The former book is very dark, while the latter is more literary (the main character speaks only in quotations).
