Pierce Brown has created an imaginative future closely aligned with a Roman world, yet existing in our own solar system and filled with characters you will want to root for or despise. I've read all five books and each continues with the original theme of a Roman hierarchy where those who are privileged control the lives and destinies of those beneath them. If this sounds a little like our current society, you have probably hit the nail on the head.

If you are in the mood for a fantasy series filled with dragons and their intrepid riders, I would strongly urge you to give Rebecca Yarros's series a read.

However, if explicit sex is not your cup of tea, I would suggest you opt for another series.

Wizard for hire? Harry Dresden is a wizard who ekes out a living by working with the Chicago police force's Special Investigation unit. In other words, he's called into work when no one else can unravel a series of supernatural crimes. Harry's character of a wizard for hire is both humorous and involving so you'll want to read the entire series for one adventure after another. I was not aware his books had been made into a television series originally produced by the Sci-Fi network, but I'll be anxious to see how they interpreted the books for television.

But even though Harry is the only game in town, business—to put…
