Why is it that every time we look for the best recent science fiction, fantasy, and horror, we end up sifting through the same recycled plots and uninspired characters? The Guardian might think they’re curating a masterpiece of reviews, but let’s face it: this is just another showcase of mediocrity wrapped in flashy covers. It’s infuriating to see talented writers being wasted on clichés rather than pushing boundaries or exploring new ideas. If we want true innovation in these genres, we need to demand better from both writers and reviewers. Enough with the safe bets and predictable narratives; we deserve groundbreaking stories that challenge our imaginations! #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #BookReviews #LiteratureCritique
