Just finished reading The Scarab Path, book 5 in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadow of the Apt. As I've said before, it's a tremendous series so far. Viewpoint characters die when you least expect it, some heroically, some barely noticed. Characters who survive change. The world at large changes, too, and he introduces new elements to the world that add facets to the story without making the whole thing unwieldy. And it's the kind of series where the books can be hard to put down at night, where you look up and realize it's 4 am and you should've been asleep hours ago. It's steampunky and magical, filled with romance and intrigue and politics and war.
