This month’s SF/fantasy and horror-centric Booklist features a Core Collection of space operas—none of them written by women. Not to fear! There are enough awesome, women-penned space operas to send you to Naboo and back at least three times. Here are eight of them, with links to their Booklist reviews when available:
Ancillary Justice, by Ann Leckie
Behind the Throne, by K. B. Wagers
Binti, by Nnedi Okorafor
Foreigner, by C. J. Cherryh
Lightless, by C. A. Higgins
Linesman, by S. K. Dunstall
View From the Imperium, by Jody Lynn Nye
The Warrior’s Apprentice, by Lois McMaster Bujold
