I apologize. I overstepped the line by dissing other people's works in another thread. Is it OK to mention some books I admired? These are from another "best books 2020" list, this one from BookPage.com.

Here are three books which impressed me, the one by Jimenez especially since it is his debut novel.
Unconquerable Sun, Kate Elliott
A Deadly Education, Naomi Novik
The Vanished Birds, Simon Jimenez
Two of the books might be called space opera. This is because they happen in a future where space travel and traveling to various worlds are important parts of the background, maybe even essential to the stories. But the term suggests melodrama. Is there another better term than space opera?
