Seeing Garth Nix on the list made me remember how much I liked the old kingdom books. They were so deliciously weird. Going to give is newer series a try.

I really enjoyed it! It gets into the biology and psychology of the Presger Translators and what it means to be a person vs being human vs being considered neither (which the original series delved into as well) and the AI issues are a bit more sidelined but still fully present. It's neat to see the Radchaai having to wrap their brain around different pronouns.

It was a good audio listen as well IMO.
