Sci-fi & fantasy

Grand quests and galaxy-wide ideas. Build or revisit universes with Tolkien (illustrated “The Hobbit,” deluxe “The Lord of the Rings”), Frank Herbert’s “The Great Dune Trilogy,” and Ursula K. Le Guin’s “A Wizard of Earthsea.” Keep pace with today’s phenomenons: Rebecca Yarros’ “Fourth Wing” and “Iron Flame,” Sarah J. Maas’ “A Court of Thorns and Roses” series, Holly Black’s “The Cruel Prince,” Lauren Roberts’ “Reckless” and “Powerful.” From collectible editions to paperback gateways, this category balances epic worldbuilding with character-driven magic and near-future speculation — ideal for new readers and long-time fans refreshing their shelves.
