I occasionally see people bemoaning a dearth of good fantasy. When pressed, they cite only the big names they've always read. But BUDDY, there are freakin' INSANELY unique and interesting books out there right now.
Check out some of the following:
@ArsenaultRivera's THE TIGER'S DAUGHTER: correspondence, romance and also demons.
@Nicholas_Eames' KINGS OF THE WYLD: getting the band back together to kill a fuckton of monsters.
@kuangrf's THE POPPY WAR: drugs and military school and holy shit
ALSO:
@JFrenchAuthor's THE GREY BASTARDS: warpigs, Warpigs, WARPIGS
@FondaJLee's THE JADE CITY: Gangsters, kung fu and some goddamn magic as HELL.
@TheBooksofBabel's SENLIN ASCENDS: Nerd loses wife, climbs mystical tower, gets fucked up
These two nerds are a little better known, but still criminally under-read, IMO.
@BrianStaveley's THE UNHEWN THRONE trilogy is rife with war, sex and at least one saucy assassin.
@DelilahSDawson (as Lila Bowen) wrote WAKE OF VULTURES, an awesome as hell western fantasy.
