Sometimes not a lot happens, to be honest, but I really fell into the characters, world, and writing style. Wilson is a different sort of fantasy in that it’s less about the plot and more about the growth of the characters. When Women Were Warriors series by Catherine M.I haven’t even been able to re-read this one, to be honest, but the sequel comes out in October 2018 and I’m definitely looking forward to getting my heart broken again. If you’re looking for a story with a queer protagonist that lives in a forgiving, accepting world and gets a happy ending, this is definitely not it. The triggers warnings on this book would probably fill an entire page. It’s also absolutely horrific and sad and gut-wrenching. The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson is absolutely brilliant - in plot, writing style, characters, and world building.There are also two more books in the series, though they’re not quite direct sequels. It’s a really diverse book and an incredibly built world. It’s got found family, non-straight characters, non-human characters, characters of color, and so much more. The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers is a great choice for your sci-fi needs.(Starting with Breaking Legacies is probably your best bet, as it’s classic fantasy.) He also has a Patreon, which, imo is worth following! If you end up enjoying Charon Docks at Daylight, the author has published several other novels, which can be found on Amazon, here.Here are a few to get you started, but if anyone has any other recs in these categories, let me know! This question comes at a good time, actually, because I’ve been looking into these genres myself. I’m so glad to hear it, anon! I hope you enjoy it.
