When I was six, I wrote an eleven-page epic about an adventurous otter named "Ottiga." The causality between that early effort and my career as a novelist is uncertain, but it did establish a pattern. I was the perpetual new kid on the block, and novels provided a pathway to escape the difficulties of being young and introverted. I learned that fiction is an antidote to loneliness; that it has the power to transport us to entirely new worlds, or to show us the familiar world in entirely new and unexpected ways. The speculative novels on this list did that for me, and I hope they do the same for you!
This is a highly propulsive and emotionally engaging novel with a sympathetic protagonist at its core.
It could be considered a portal fantasy, but I'd categorize it, along with the other books on this list, as “speculative,” because it doesn’t fit neatly into either the fantasy or science fiction genres and is anchored in contemporary or near-future realism.
Piranesi’s beautifully executed theme, about how a dramatic change in perspective can lead to a deeper appreciation for the beauty and nobility abiding beneath the ugliness of humanity and our one and only world, is one for the ages.
This highly original and beautiful book is destined to endure as one of the classics of early twenty-first century literature.

On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend,…
The setting was rich and immersive, with a world history I wanted to know more about. The characters were strong and believable. Han needs a hug and a break! Raisa needs to stop kissing everyone, but at the same time, you do you, girl. Haha. Their flaws made them both frustrating and lovable, and long before the end, I wanted to see both of them break out of their limited worlds and discover everything life had to offer.
10/10 coming-of-age story with plenty of adventure to be had. (Psst, book two is EVEN BETTER, but that's not what we're talking about here.)
