Just finished book 10/10 in Tchaikovsky's "Shadows of the Apt" series. I highly recommend it.

For me it was an interesting blend of the political/military games of Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and the intersection of magic and technology in Sanderson's Cosmere.

Tchaikovsky's most well known for Children of Time but although I like the third book in that series a lot the first two were a little meh for me. I liked the concepts and world building but the perspectives of octopi and spiders was kind of a drag for me. Somehow I liked the raven stuff though.

I would also recommend Tchaikovsky's The Final Architecture series if you're into the sci-fi more than the fantasy aspects.
