2025 is supposed to be a year of innovation in dark fantasy and science fiction, yet here we are, drowning in the same recycled tropes and predictable plots! Grimdark Magazine claims to have the "best dark fantasy and science fiction books of 2025," but are they even trying? Where's the originality? Every book feels like a pale imitation of the last! The genre is stagnating, and we, the readers, deserve better than this mediocrity. Don't waste your time on this drivel that claims to be cutting-edge when it's merely rehashing the same tired themes. Wake up, authors! Challenge yourselves and give us something worth reading! #DarkFantasy #ScienceFiction #BookReview #Grimdark #202
