What's the last SFF you read, and what subgenre does it fit into?

My last SFF read was SPACE OPERA by Catherine Valente (literally space opera). It was like having a drunk, very dynamic discussion with someone I vehemently disagree with. Well-written, and actually influenced my thinking about some points (although as a sexual health physician I was very "no way" about the high-risk sexual promiscuity). Very beautiful discussion of the pain of being an immigrant in a country that doesn't want you (I'm the mixed-race child of immigrants who DID feel wanted, so the difference in experience matters to me).

What about you guys?

The last one I read was entitled Maxine Justice, Galactic Attorney, an excellent read but don't know the subgenre.

I just finished "The Enclave," by Karen Hancock, LOVE that book, re-read it again after many years and it still holds up. I love the science gone awry, combined with "Man playing God"/Nephilim aspects of that title. HIGHLY recommended.

The last one I finished was The Professors and the Blood-Stained Knights. I’d put it in the Christian sci-fi thriller space — kind of a blend of near-future tech, conspiracy vibes, and spiritual warfare elements. Fast-paced and leans into a biblical perspective, so definitely a niche subgenre, but it scratched that “faith meets futuristic conflict” itch really well.
