Scifi with a fantasy feel

[philstar22]

Does anyone have any recs for good scifi books that feel like more fantasy rather than scifi? I guess things that are sort of like Star Wars or Doctor Who? I don't know. I just want to read about aliens and planets without reading a whole lot of technobabble.

Lois McMaster Bujold, definitely. Great world building without boring techobabble. Maybe John Scalzi's "Agent to the Stars" if you don't mind sci-fi with a humorous angle. It's free online:

Mary Gentle, Golden Witchbreed. Envoy from Earth visits a planet near the galaxy's core, encounters the indigenous people who are surprisingly alien, goes on a great journey. There are relics of the Ancients, and lots of plotting. Ignore the sequel unless you like dark fiction.

Ursula LeGuin, The Left Hand of Darkness. Same basic premise but better-written, minus the Ancients, on a planet in the middle of an Ice Age. Keep the tissues handy.

Same author, Rocannon's World. Draws on a lot of earth-based myths. One of her earlier books, but very good for all that.

Probably an obvious rec, but Anne McCaffrey does more fantasy flavored scifi. I like her Brainship, Freedom, and Peytabee series.
