May is here, and that means it’s time to refresh your TBR pile and get cracking on some new books! April had a ton of great new releases across the fantasy and science fiction space, and May promises to be no different. In fact, our list includes a few more books than usual this time around.
Whether you’re out for deep space sagas, fantastical adventures, dystopian futures or gritty dark fantasies, there’s plenty to choose from this month. Here are 13 books to check out:
LORDS OF UNCREATION by Adrian Tchaikovsky (The Final Architecture #3) — May 2
This month will see the release of the final volume in Adrian Tchaikovsky’s The Final Architecture trilogy. The epic story that began in Shards of Earth with the enhanced human soldier Idris and a fateful discovery amidst the stars is speeding toward an explosive conclusion.
The alien Architects have returned, pushing humanity toward extinction. The second novel, Eyes of the Void, saw Idris return to the battlefield to help humanity fight for survival. The conflict has been devastating, and soon, we’ll be able to read how it all ends in Lords of Uncreation.

May will be a busy month for Tchaikovsky. Beyond the release of Lords of Uncreation, this month will also see the release of his fantasy novel City of Last Chances, which came out late last year in the UK but will be making its US debut on May 2. You know you’re churning out novels when you’ve got two coming out on the same day.
