Let me tell you? I've never enjoyed the genres more. It's not anything about one gender being inherently capable of writing or any sexism bullshit like that, but more-so about how I think cis-het men are raised when it comes to fiction and writing, and the cultures that have developed around the genres for them.
For the traditional cis-het pieces I've read, so much of it falls under Male Gaze tropes, or overwhelming focuses on action and setting, with less attention paid to characters or plot. I noticed this trend in my creative writing courses during University, when critiquing the work of the real Dudebros. (tm) in my classes. While I commend the sheer work and effort put into his work by Tolkein, I feel like the desire to replicate such needless depth in setting has poisoned the minds of many a prospective writer. I mean, this is besides the damage that an overt focus on action inflicts upon writing-- one I have been guilty of in the past as well.
I still remember one guy approaching me after a novel writing course complaining to me that all the women in the class were writing about "depressed women" and how much he hated reading it. Needless to say the bad vibes I suspected about him were more than confirmed and I put in a greater effort to distance myself from him.
But when it comes to the women-written sci-fi/fantasy, it's like a spark reignited. The balance in depth of setting is hit, for the most part. I'd say more about that, but honestly this post will likely be a bit long and I could, and probably will, write entire posts about setting and action as well, because I gots them open-onions. But also, the characters are very intriguing and, honestly, characters are the number one aspect of a book that will pull you in.
The first series I read, and am currently reading, and highly recommend is the Shades of Magic series by V.E. Shwab. The first book in series is "A Darker Shade of Magic". I understand that a common trapping in fantasy novels is "The take on magic and setting is really unique!", as execution matters far more than originality, but in this case both are handled very well. The setting is interesting and enthralling, and the treatment of magic I find to be far better than most unique takes. For reference, most works will treat magic as Electricity, something akin to computer coding, or an extension of Laws of Physics (certain recent novels do this more and BLEGH. It's called like, "Hard Magic" or some bullshit.) Shades of Magic treats it more as a spiritual thing with a whole life to it, and the full extent of this aspect is explored well and integrated in the plot and characters exceptionally. Speaking of, the characters are really good and go away from your typical White Cishet Protagonist Cast, with an excellent breadth. It's a really good series I recommend it.
I also really recommend the Protectorate Series by Megan E. Okeefe, the first book in the series being Velocity Weapon. Admittedly I haven't read the other books but I seriously plan to. The plot is incredibly gripping with some excellent twists and turns. The setting, while toeing the line into "So Different It's Inaccessible" (Looking at YOU, DUNE.) it still manages to keep enough familiarity so as to not lose the reader completely. Again, really good characters, also gay dads. Love to read Gay Dad Characters. The series tries to be a Hard Sci-Fi as much as it can while also being one of those "Very far future and some of the technology is so advanced it's practically magic", but it tries to limit its use of Belief-Suspending Aspects as much as it can. Again, excellent book.
I'm currently reading the book "Ancillary Justice" by Ann Leckie, part of her "Imperial Radch" series. The book is long and dense, and I admit its setting steps over the line of being So Different It's Inaccessible, but it tries to do its best to explain its setting through showing instead of telling as often as possible. Despite that, I did have to google a couple things so as to keep myself from being too confused, but really only a couple minor things. A really cool part is that the culture of the titular empire (Radch) is that it has no gender roles, and everyone uses "she/her" pronouns. Of course, there are cultures that still use gendered language and roles, but this is important in that it's a first-person novel through the perspective of someone with no real experience in gendered culture, meaning that everyone is referred to as she/her (the character will also very frequently mistake gender when it comes to using that language, but it's not handled in a bigoted manner). What makes this interesting is that it forces you, as a reader, to approach how you imagine and picture those characters in your head. It makes you discover how we contextualize personality aspects depending on the gender of the person presenting those aspects, and thus rethink the sort of vibe and aura a character may give entirely because of the pronouns used for them. In reality, the simple of use pronouns is a small decision that can make dramatically huge changes in how something is read and someone may not even realize it.
Other notable books I suggest are Noor, by Nnedi Okorafor, a Nigerian Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk novel, a solid, albeit too short read that approaches sci-fi as a concept through a Nigerian lens. Nnedi writes an interesting near/far future setting, with some solid characters. Just, again, the novel just feels a bit too short and I wish it spent more time exploring its characters and its driving concepts. Then there's Circe, by Madeline Miller, a novel about the Greek Mythological Figure of the same name that goes into incredible depth and work to maintain cultural and historical accuracy to the original stories while also exploring them in a deeper fashion than what we currently have access to. Her many degrees in classics and drama help create a novel that matches the style of an ancient story, and while its pacing is slow to start it explores it in a wonderful manner.
