Every year Locus, the newsmagazine of the science fiction and fantasy field, publishes a recommended reading list for the previous year's publications. The 2021 list is now out and there's a lot of there to peruse.
Here are a few books from the science fiction novels section that I've either bought or plan to read based on reviews and my previous experience with the authors.
- Leviathan Falls, James S.A. Corey (Orbit US; Orbit UK)
- Cloud Cuckoo Land, Anthony Doerr (Scribner; Fourth Estate)
- A Desolation Called Peace, Arkady Martine (Tor; Tor UK)
- Inhibitor Phase, Alastair Reynolds (Gollancz; Orbit US)
- Purgatory Mount, Adam Roberts (Gollancz)
- Invisible Sun, Charles Stross (Tor; Tor UK) - I am reading this now.
- Shards of Earth, Adrian Tchaikovsky (Tor UK; Orbit US)
Note that the list includes novels in several categories as well as short fiction and non-fiction. Most entries are linked to online bookstores or the original online publication in the case of some of the short fiction.
Locus has also opened its annual poll for voting on the annual Locus Awards.
