I'll second NK Jemisin's Broken Earth series. At a dinner a friend mentioned he had just finished the second book and the dinner immediately turned into talking about how amazing the series is. Highly recommend.
Three Body Problem is hard science sci-fi with amazing storytelling. The last book sort or rushes some parts, but I think that story of works for it in the context of a story of humanity rushing at dealing with possible destruction.
I didn't see it mentioned, but the Hyperion Cantos books are more classic SciFi/fantasy but it still hit. I cried at the ending, I'm not sue I ever have before at a book.
I actually liked A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) but, obviously, an incomplete series. Still.
Great recs all around! Hyperion cantos is awesome. It's the caterburry tales....iIn space!
Very much agreed on the Broken Earth series
