I’ve read and enjoyed (in random order):
- Broken Earth and Inheritance series by N. K. Jemisin
- Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir
- She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
- The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
- Teixcalaan series by Arkady Martine
- How High We Go In The Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
- Anything by Octavia Butler
I was going to say Ursula Le Guin but someone beat me to it lol.
So instead: I haven’t read all of her books yet, but I’ve really liked everything by Emily St. John Mandel that I’ve read so far. Station Eleven was great (and the TV series is even better somehow!) and Sea of Tranquility was super interesting.
I really liked St. John Mandel books! I will have to watch the TV adaptation
