Guy Gavriel Kay's works often have a soft, historical-fantasy feel, but 'Tigana' and 'The Lions of Al-Rassan' have moments where the past feels like a living, haunting force. In 'The Sarantine Mosaic', the divine is felt through mosaics and rituals. It's less about literal gods and time machines, more about how history and belief become mythic forces that shape the present.

Kameron Hurley's 'The Mirror Empire' and its sequels. Parallel worlds, blood magic, and sentient, carnivorous plants. Time is broken, with different worlds experiencing different rates, and there are god-like beings who can walk between them. It's brutally inventive and doesn't hold your hand with the complex world-building.

Let’s not forget older pulp. Leigh Brackett's 'The Sword of Rhiannon' is a planetary romance where an archaeologist is thrown back in time on Mars to an era when Martian gods walked. It's pure, swashbuckling science fantasy from the golden age—ancient seas, lost civilizations, and a cursed hero.

Alright, my two cents: look into Japanese light novels. 'Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation' involves reincarnation into a fantasy world with a detailed magic system that later gets quasi-scientific explanations. There's an overarching plot with ancient dragon gods, legendary heroes, and a catastrophe that loops time. The web novel finale goes full circle with fate and timelines.

A comic series: 'Planetary' by Warren Ellis. Archaeologists of the unknown uncover the secret history of a super-powered world. They deal with time-traveling ghosts, ancient astronauts, and hidden civilizations. It's a love letter to pulp fiction, blending every genre to ask what happens when the myths are real and science is the new magic.

Cool thread. I'm mostly a lurker, but time travel plus magic is my catnip. Following.

What sci fi fantasy novels focus on time travel and prophecy?

Max Barry's 'Lexicon' isn't strictly time travel, but it involves 'words of power' that can reprogram people's minds. The plot hinges on a prophecy about a 'bareword' that can affect anyone, and the narrative jumps around in time to show how events in the past created the crisis in the present. The non-linear storytelling gives it a time-travel-like feel, as you piece together how the prophecy was created and how to stop it. It's a linguistic thriller that reads like a movie.

A lot of recommendations here are from big publishers. The small press scene has some gems too. I recently read 'The Flight of the Godkin' from a tiny press called 'Mythic Delirium'. It's a time-travel fantasy where a family's magic is tied to their ability to visit their ancestors' memories. It's raw, weird, and didn't have to conform to commercial trends. Supporting small presses often gets you the most inventive takes on genres, because they can take bigger risks. Check out winners of the World Fantasy Award or the Otherwise Award for leads on these lesser-known treasures.

Which Kindle Unlimited science fiction books feature time travel ethics?

Don’t overlook the ‘LitRPG’ and ‘GameLit’ sections on KU. Some involve time loops within game worlds, and the ethics get meta. Is it ethical to use out-of-game knowledge (like replaying a loop) to manipulate in-game characters who feel real? One series, 'The Completionist Chronicles,' touches on this—the protagonist’s ability to restart sections of a game-like world raises questions about consent and fairness. It’s a lighter take, often played for comedy, but the underlying question of treating sentient-seeming beings as NPCs has ethical weight. These books are more about fun than deep philosophy, but they occasionally stumble into profound territory between the level-ups and loot drops.

What sci fi and fantasy books explore time travel and destiny?

For a pure fantasy politics take, 'The Licanius Trilogy' by James Islington is built on a time loop paradox. The entire plot is a carefully constructed knot where characters' actions in the present are influenced by artifacts and messages from the future, all orchestrated by a figure trying to break a cosmic cycle. You slowly realize every betrayal, every sacrifice, might be part of a destined plan centuries in the making to achieve a final, free choice. It's incredibly satisfying to see the puzzle of predestination and free will click into place.

What sci fi adventure books combine time travel with exploration?

Robert Charles Wilson’s 'Chronoliths' is a different angle. Monuments from the future start appearing, heralding the conquest of a future warlord. The exploration is of a mystery—scientists and ordinary people trying to understand this invasion from the future. The adventure is in the global pursuit of clues as society slowly unravels. It’s an exploration of cause and effect, and of a terrifying possible destiny. The time travel is passive (the monuments arrive), but the need to explore their origin and meaning drives a tense, psychological adventure.
