Please add this new book  “A Glimpse Beyond The Aether” to your must read list.  An over populated world that can raise the dead, but it is forbidden (too overcrowded already).  A exception is made when the world’s most important people die in a freak accident.  We now learn what happens when we die.  Only one woman who bridges both worlds can prevent an apocalyptic tragedy, but at what cost!  The ending is awesome.Two more books in the series to follow:  “Breaching the Sentry” and “Pink Reign”Books by Susan Frances   Pegasus publisher

Damn

I read Foundation a while ago and can’t remember much tbh, but struggle to remember even the one female…huh, been meaning to continue the series, but you know how that always goes.lol.

If you like MR fantasy, I recommend Garth Nix Frogkisser! Very fast moving and inventive.

I recomend you Saven an awesome sci fi series by Siobhan Davies.

If you want to read really dark fiction I will always recommend the Malazan world by Steven Erikson and Ian Esslemont. Start with Gardens Of The Moon. Also Escape from Bythos by Phil Tucker which is the prequel novella to the Chronicles Of The Black Gate series and for Urban Fantasy I recommend Crimes Against Magic by Steven McHugh which is the first book in the Hellequin Chronicles.

Here is a retro recommendation- Robert K. Silverberg’s
Lord Valentine’s Castle: Book One of the Majipoor Cycle
