I haven’t had any luck in finding sci-fi books recently. I’m looking for a longer story that takes its time to establish the world/universe and the characters living in it. I like the idea of exploring space or futuristic cities/landscapes and being on a journey together with the protagonist. The story doesn’t have to have a happy end or flawless characters, but I also don’t like it when everything is hopeless/dystopic and all the characters stumble from one flawed decision to the next one. Some examples of what I enjoyed so far are:

If you enjoyed some of these stories and have any similar suggestions, feel free to share them here. If not, maybe consider checking out the list above… I highly recommend each of these entries.

    C.J. Cherryh’s Foreigner series spans 22 volumes (currently). I enjoyed it immensely.

    While not sci-fi, Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin series is great for “on a journey” across the seas of the Napoleonic era.
