As we roll into November and leave Halloween in October, we look at sci-fi and fantasy novels releasing this month. Keep reading to see which books will be hitting bookstores near you!
If you are a big sci-fi and fantasy fan, then this is a month that you will like. There are some major releases from some of the biggest names in the world. But that doesn’t mean you should ignore novels from lesser-known authors.

I am excited about Brandon Sanderson’s fourth installation in the The Skyward series, Defiant. If you haven’t read this series, then you are missing out. Other big releases include releases by Patrick Rothfuss, Rebecca Yarros, Jim Butcher, and Martha Wells. You can see the full list below!
