My Favourite SFF Backlist Reads of 2023!
Every year, the Best Ofs are filled with books published that year – but what about the awesome books we read that were published earlier???

I have AGONISED over this list, but here it is at last: the best published-in-2023 SFF I read this year!
Spies, magical murder mysteries, and queer courtly intrigue!
Gods carved into living bones; disappointing dragons; very bad military decisions; boring dryads; and letters I kept falling asleep reading.
Desert magicians from our future, and divine magicians from other worlds!
A strong finale to a wonderful trilogy!
Murderbot, alchemy, and a crew of lady pirates!
Department stores for dreams, (sort-of-)magicians out to save England’s magic, and trans mutiny!
Eight DNFs in one month feels like a lot.
Afro samurai, plenty of queer horror, and glitchy angels!
