I had to post the cover art because, well, it's awesome, and I awarded the book half a star just for that.

This was one of my favorite books of 2019, but I had to re-read it to refresh my memory because the sequel came out recently (it's a trilogy).

Foundryside is a sci-fi/fantasy I guess, but in a really fresh setting that avoids most of the standard fantasy feel. It's fast-paced, there were multiple genuinely interesting characters, an intriguing world (and history) that is slowly revealed, and it's just genuinely a lot of fun. I won't even try to summarize the plot though - just read the amazon listing.
