I'm not sure when it was written, but I ran across this list of the best science fiction and fantasy books this century, and I resonated with the ones I've read, so I thought I'd see what others thought of it. Have you read many of them?

I agree with everything you said about Priory, and would add that the sex scenes were maybe the most badly written to the point it was painful. I almost never give up on a book even when I should, but I had to leave this one unfinished. And I've finally stopped seeing the cover of the second one and thinking ooh what's this? Before I realize it's nothing I want to read. I liked How to Lose the Time War pretty well and will check out your other recommendations!
