I really liked Children of Time, but I wasn't crazy about Children of Ruin. It wasn't bad, but it seemed like he was treading on some of the stuff he had already covered in the first book.

Based on your standards, I think you might find that it fits and is worthwhile.
Adrian Tchaicjovsky (spelling may be off) is someone I’ve found recently. I’m currently reading his Children of Time.
Found him with One Day this will all be Yours, which is an excellent novella.
K.J. Parker’s 16 Ways to defend a Walled City is also pretty excellent. One of the better things I’ve found the past few years.

I've only read the first four Malazan books. Deadhouse Gates was definitely my favorite of the four. I really liked the Chain of Dogs stuff.
One Day All This Will Be Yours is actually a follow-up to a short story called “The Mouse Ran Down." It's completely different in tone but you might want to give it a read.
I've never heard of "16 Ways to Defend a Walled City." I'll add it to the list.
