Currently on my nightstand would be Man in the High Castle by Philip K Dick, but I haven’t started yet and can’t say much more. Just finished Forge of the High Mage by Ian C Esselmont last night though, which is a continuation of a prequel series to Malazan book of the fallen. It’s a high fantasy series with great world building, and can make readers feel a full range of emotion over the first of the series. I highly recommend the series. My first try I couldn’t get through the first book because the authors don’t spoon feed you what you think you need to know and I was just to confused for being 400 pages in. But I’m really glad I went back to it, definitely my favorite series and I’ve gone through twice now
