I'm making a library run this week. I'm looking for any recent fantasy or anything that is a scifi/fantasy fusion. Meaning, I guess, scifi that has more of a fantasy feel than a hard scifi feel.

Did you ever read Lois McMaster Bujold's Chalion books?

I think you would enjoy them perhaps.

No. I read some of her Vorkosigan saga and really only liked the ones centering around Cordelia because I didn't much likes Miles. But I haven't read her other stuff.

I think you would like Curse of Chalion decently and I think you would love Paladin of Souls.

+1 for Paladin of Souls. It's a sequel to Curse of Chalion but I started with it and didn't feel lost at all.

Do you use goodreads? I finally started using it and omg I get so many recommendations from them and will just check the popular books that were recently published for new stuff.

Do you read young adult scifi/fantasy? I have a bunch of recs for that genre you might like.

I've enjoyed some young adult stuff, yes.

I don't know if I'd categorize all of these as fantasy or young adult, but books I've read and enjoyed recently.

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley
The Book of Speculation by Erika Swyler
Nimona by Noelle Stevenson (this is an amazing graphic novel)
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

Have you read the Dorothy Must Die series? I know you like Wizard of Oz but I don't know if you've read these books, they're a little different and not for everyone. I liked Dorothy Must Die and the Stories collection, but The Wicked Will Rise was so so.

I just read Seraphina by Rachel Hartman, and it was a fun read. A bit of an unexpected take on fantasy, too.

Have you read Rivers of London, by Ben Aaronovitch? Urban crime fantasy, first book pub 2011 (if in the USA, you may see it called "Midnight Riot". The protag is keen on architecture so there's a fair bit of architecture porn in there, plus a lot of crime-procedural stuff.
