This year was a year in which, along with everything else, I read a number of standout scifi trilogies:

---

Binti by Nnedi Okorafor (African girl goes to space, becomes a unifying force in the galaxy)

- Binti

- Binti: Home

- Binti: The Night Masquerade

---

Remembrance of Earth's Past by Liu Cixin (Humans make first contact and it doesn't go all that well)

- The Three Body Problem

- The Dark Forest

- Death's End

---

Imperial Radch by Ann Leckie (A spaceship's AI becomes confined to a single human body and seeks revenge)

- Ancillary Justice

- Ancillary Sword

- Ancillary Mercy

---

Broken Earth by N.K. Jemisin (Earth really hates humans, but some people have the power to control the earthquakes)

- The Fifth Season

- The Obelisk Gate

- The Stone Sky




Read/heard and thoroughly enjoyed all of those except Binti which is new to me. Wishlisted, thanks!
