the library ladder | The Many Worlds of Martha Wells: 25 Years of Fantasy Novels Before Murderbot @thelibraryladder | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Martha Wells is probably best known today for her recent Hugo and Nebula award-winning Murderbot Diaries series. However, she's been writing speculative fiction for 30 years, and her earlier fantasy novels are wonderful and deserve more attention.
Her worldbuilding skills are well-honed, and she creates radically different worlds or settings in her books, many of which are standalone (!!!) novels.
I highly recommend exploring her works!
