The Mausoleum's Children by Aliette de Bodard

Science Fantasy, and dark fantasy at that.

Ranked #1 for the Hugo.

A Fire Born of Exile by Aliette de Bodard

This book is engagingly written; the stakes are high but not world-ending, and the principle characters, all women or brain ships, sometimes female brain ships, are distinct individuals. But it is subtitled as a romance, and the romance feels arbitrary and unbalanced. Also, the good/bad divisions are overwhelmingly abrupt in characters crucial to the action, which flattens the emotional resonance throughout.

Master of the House of Darts (Obsidian & Blood Book 3) by Aliette de Bodard

At the ritual to welcome the troops back from Tizoc's coronation war a warrior collapses and dies. More and more people start dying, but is it a natural epidemic sent by Tlaloc, the Storm Lord, or the result of magic and a curse? Acatl must investigate and try to maintain the boundaries between the Fifth World and the supernatural realms.

The best of the trilogy, partly because I felt I had a much better grasp of what was going on.
