James SA Corey’s “The Mercy of Gods” grabbed my attention more than any book I’ve read in a long time. I’m looking forward to seeing where the story goes.

Oh wow, I'd completely forgotten that this was coming this year. I'll have a peek at our library and see if I can snag it sometime soon. Thanks!
Edit: I burned through Mercy and Live Suit last month - Mercy spent most of its time setting the stage for the series but Live Suit was fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing where this new universe goes, it's an interesting setup.
Fell completely off my radar. Into the queue with thee!
The new Peter F. Hamilton book Exodus was great, if you like a bit of the ol’ space opera.
Ooh, I love Peter Hamilton, and I haven’t read his stuff in forever. Thanks!
Thanks! I really enjoyed his Commonwealth books so I'll give this one a look.
The Rampart Trilogy was great.
Technically published 2021-2023, but didn't start reading it until recently but: Adrian Tchaikovsky's The Final Architecture has grabbed me and pulled me in hard. It's popcorn sci fi (all flavour, minimal substance) at its finest. Scratches the epic space opera "ship and crew" found family itch.
Can tell it's him though -- having read some of his previous books: the aliens are insectoid and at least one character always has to have the author's obsession with fencing. ;)
Feels like Reynolds in parts (gothic horror), but equal parts The Expanse and Mass Effect. Popcorn 🍿
