I'm not really answering that question as much as adding a recommendation for another author, so hopefully you don't mind.
Check out the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. Hugo and nebula awards were awarded for novels in the trilogy, and I tore right through them. She has a short story collection that I read first and it really hooked me in. Such a wide variety of worlds, peoples, and consciousness she's able to bring to life. The title doesn't make you think "sci Fi shorts" but I assure you it is, and fantastic! "How Long 'til Black Future Month?"
NK jemisin is great but that's not the topic ๐ค
I enjoyed both Broken Earth and Wizard of Earthsea , anyone any recommendations for similar stories or writers?
