I’ve heard Space Opera called “the high fantasy of science fiction,” and that’s a pretty accurate description. Space Operas focus on political drama and epic-scope narratives. They generally take place in space on a galactic scale, usually with empires or political entities controlling worlds.
Below you can find my latest posts related to the Space Opera subgenre. Read on if you love Star Wars or Dune, and want to find more books like these classics!
If you love epic space sagas, Han Solo coded FMC’s and MMC’s like Li Shang from Mulan, you’re going to want to save this interview!

Other Worlds is a 2025 collaboration between indie authors Ben Logsdon, Erica Rue, R.Lynn Hanks, Calanthe Colt, Amber Toro, Ilias Siametis, Amy Marie Ayres and Alana Faye Wilson.

When it comes to sci-fi romance, I’ve read some weird stuff–from aliens who give great oral to gothic horror set inside the guts of a living spaceship. But I honestly never thought I’d pick up a sentient object romance until I read the blurb for Volatile Memory. Yes, the FMC falls in love with a … Read more
September is my fave month of the year, and it’s not just because it’s my birth month. There’s something about the change in the weather that signals it’s time to cozy up with a cup of tea and a good book.

When it comes to sci-fi romance, I’m in it for two things: kissing and explosions. That’s probably why Constance Fay’s Uncharted Hearts series has quickly become one of my all-time faves. This week I devoured the series’s 2025 release, Chaos, and I’m happy to report that the third-in-series does not disappoint. Set against the havoc … Read more
Scarper is Book #2 in The Delphic Dame trilogy, and its story arc definitely does not stand alone. But even though nothing gets resolved plot-wise in this instalment, I really enjoyed the read. The story moves forward, the stakes get raised, and Scarper is chock full of Jenny Schwartz’s signature thoughtful insights into society, politics, … Read more

Not going to lie, the reason I originally added Countess to my TBR was that I saw a picture of the author wearing a cool cape. (You guys know how I feel about costumes.) It wasn’t high on my list at first, but I kept hearing more and more interesting things about the book that … Read more
Alla Zaykova’s debut novel Galaxy Grifter released on June 3rd, and the moment I saw the book’s tagline, I knew I had to add it to my TBR! This book has everything I adore in space opera–banter, action, snark and stakes. But does it have romance, you ask? You KNOW I was wondering the same … Read more
I interviewed Jennifer Brody, author of A Sacrifice of Blood and Stars, back in the fall when the book released, but it took me a while for this one to make it to the top of my TBR. I’m glad I came back to it, because it was a really fun read! A Sacrifice of … Read more
