I loved Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Final Architecture" trilogy, starting with "Shards of Earth". I've really enjoyed Tchaikovsky the last couple years, "Children of Time" is magnificent, "Cage of Souls" was cool weirdness; but "Shards of Earth" was like a Firefly/Expanse-inspired story set in a Culture style universe, definitely my favorite of his books that I've read so far. Even acting as book one in a trilogy, it's ending was satisfying enough that I'd still have loved it without reading books 2 or 3.

@kat_angstrom will pick this up, thanks! Was planning to do Hyperion as well on the side!

Hyperion is glorious. SUCH a good book, and the next in the series is fantastic as well. Three and four a little less so
