We've done the hard work for you and rounded up the 21 best science fiction fantasy series of all time, in no particular order.
For the sake of tidiness (and our own sanity), we've limited this list to series that include at least three books, and that are either completely finished or have no further books currently planned (so, no A Song of Fire and Ice ), or have at least one finished multi-book story arc within the larger series (for instance, the Farseer Trilogy is a completed series within the Realm of the Elderlings series).

If we have to say more than "utopian socialism on sentient spaceships" to sell you on this series, it may not be for you, but give it a shot anyway, won't you? Banks started the Culture series at a time when space opera was considered facile and passé, and took full advantage of that attitude to reinvent and revitalize the genre, offering a smart, playful, and often stylistically flashy subversion of space opera tropes wrapped around a core of radical politics.
Quite a lot has been going on:

Earth is an exhausting place to be right now. Rainforests are burning, ice caps are melting, and there are grim projections for the future—not to mention the cruelties we inflict upon one another! The Best Science Fiction & Fantasy Books of 2017 Will Blow ...best - science - fiction - fantasy - ...2017 These are the best science fiction and fantasy books of the year. [A note from the future: Once you've finished working through this list, check out our picks for the best books of 2018… so far and the year-end list of the best sci - fi and fantasy of 2018.]!! Recently, when I’ve needed to get away, escaping into earthbound fiction has not been escape enough; I’ve found that it’s better to take my hope to the stars. These science fiction books about space—though they also acknowledge humanity’s propensity for destruction—are a wonderful source of respite in troubled times. They spread their dreams among the galaxies and across time, wondering what might be different if we were to take our imagination upward and outward, but also probing what would be likely to remain the same.
Theo is a brilliant scientist who is absolutely horrified by the idea of his daughter, Nedda, growing up. To confront this inevitability, he looks for ways to suspend time. It’s research prompted by love, but that has terrible consequences for the people of their Florida town—consequences that, years later as an astronaut, Nedda is still struggling to comprehend. Gorgeous and frightening, Swyler’s novel propels parent-child bonds into outer space.
The weird, the wacky, the underappreciated: A new look at science fiction and fantasy - The
Even 10 years ago, the fields of science fiction and fantasy were still overwhelmingly American and white. And, if you grew up speaking Spanish in Mexico City, (as I, Silvia, did), or Hebrew on a small kibbutz in Israel (as I, Lavie, did), it meant that the world of science fiction, filtered through translation, was as remote and alien as the other side of the moon. The very idea we could be writing novels like these seemed, well, fantastical.
Yet, somehow, here we are. The past decade has seen the science-fiction world change as more international voices enthusiastically jumped into the fray. Now, wonderful writers including Malaysian Zen Cho can write smart, funny fantasies such as "Sorcerer to the Crown"; after years of struggle, Nigerian Tade Thompson's ambitious Africa-set novel, "Rosewater," was published to wide acclaim and recently won the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award; and Chinese author Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem," translated by Ken Liu, has become a bestseller and even has a recommendation from former president Barack Obama.
