I can’t quite tell when I began reading SFF standalone books. But I began to love them so much I now read more standalones than series. There’s something truly magical and satisfying about reading a shorter story that is resolved within a single volume. Besides, we all get series fatigue from time to time right? There are a ton of great SFF standalones out there — so this list is by no means exhaustive or definitive. Narrowing it down was hard, and there are so many amazing SFF standalone books out there that aren’t in here — including novellas. Plus, the genre is pretty big — so there is some overlap with other genres as well. But hopefully you will all find something new to read in this list. So without further ado, let’s get to it!
