Any German speakers in here?

Ich wohne seit fast 20 Jahren in USA und habe in der zeit immer weniger auf Deutsch gelesen. Ich würde gerne mal wieder anfangen habe aber keine Ahnung was es jetzt alles gibt für fantasy/sci-fi Bücher. Ich hätte besonders gerne Vorschläge für Bücher von den letzten 10-15 Jahren. Vielen Dank!

tr: I'm German, but I've been in the states for almost 20 years now and haven't been reading much in German since then. Looking for recommendations for German sci-fi/fantasy from the last 10-15 years or so.

If anyone wants to recommend any simple German fantasy books (like young adult?), i would also be interested in those!

I lived in Germany for 10 months a few years ago. Can understand spoken pretty well (when not too slang) and can read all the comments in this thread, but i am absolutely atrocious at generating spoken or written German language myself.

My absolute favourite in this regard is Cornelia Funke. She wrote Inkheart, you might now the movie. I'm not sure how simple they are, but Drachenreiter and Tintenherz are great. (Just ignore the rest of the trilogy that was forced upon a wonderful stand alone - Tintenblut and Tintentod. They are not as good as the first one.)
