: Re: What science fiction sub-genre is my novel? I've written a science fiction book that has a strong feel of "fantasy." Three quarters of the story is in a medieval/primitive kingdom type settings

Warning: It sounds like Stargate SG-1, with no aliens. That's OK, as long as you make sure you're not being obviously derivative.

To your question: Just say it's "medieval fantasy plus space-opera sci-fi." List it under the genres "medieval," "action adventure," "fantasy," "space opera," and "science fiction." Yes, that's right: all of them. And "fiction," to boot, plus any other categories you think are applicable. But then explain it a bit in your blurb. People understand that.

(For physical bookstores, you'd have to pick only one genre, where they would shelve it. Digital bookstores don't usually require that.)
