The House of Binding Thorns by Aliette de Bodard
4.0
No heroes, which makes the villains... still villainous, but you have to root for someone, right?
Read this for the world-building and the character explorations, and don't worry too much about the plot. There are about eleventy billion different storylines that all get wound together at the end... and then released, so new patterns can form.
It took me months to finish, because everything is so grim and convoluted, but I'm glad that I allowed myself to take such a slow pace -- it was totally worth it. Very excited to see what AdB brings us next!
