Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #1) by Tamsyn Muir
This surreal end of the world novel really explores and expands what the genre is pushing these days. Highly theorhetical and I reccomend it to anyone looking for a heady read.
There Is No Antimemetics Division: A Novel

Metal from Heaven
Based on native Aztec lore, this world is full of mystery, intrigue, queer love and doomsday. I love this whole series, and really feel like this first book is just an introduction to the fulll experience you get through the series.
Black Sun (Between Earth and Sky Series #1)

Fevered Star (Between Earth and Sky Series #2)
Serapio, Xiala, Narampa, all of our favorite players come together in the last encounter of this epic trilogy. I love Xiala and the exploration of her roots so much in this. She's by far my favorite.
