I really love this year& #39;s Hugo nominees! But I also want to highlight some SFF novels by authors of color published in 2019 that I personally really loved, so have a thread.

I& #39;m including both adult and young adult.
THE ROSEWATER INSURRECTION by Tade Thompson
- adult science fiction
- sequel to ROSEWATER
- the best alien invasion series I& #39;ve ever read
- alien invasion through biology -- they change you from the inside out
- last book in the series already out https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40696972-the-rosewater-insurrection">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show...
STORM OF LOCUSTS by Rebecca Roanhorse
- adult urban fantasy / post-apocalyptic sci-fi
- second in Sixth World series
- really great heroine, amazing world building
- this book expands the scope of the world https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37920490-storm-of-locusts">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show...
NULL SET by SL Huang
- adult sci-fi thriller
- sequel to ZERO SUM GAME

JADE WAR by Fonda Lee
- adult second-world fantasy
- sequel to JADE CITY
- fantasy with modern tech is so cool???

THE DRAGON REPUBLIC by R.F. Kuang
- adult grimdark fantasy
- sequel to THE POPPY WAR
- also one of the best fantasy series of the last ten years
- not grimdark as in "edgy for the sake of edgy" grimdark as "dealing with historical trauma" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41118857-the-dragon-republic">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show...
THE GOOD LUCK GIRLS by Charlotte Nicole Davis
- young adult second-world fantasy
- feels like Westworld meets Fury Road?
