The Martine, the Muir, the Moreno-Garcia, and the Harrow.
The Martine
A Memory Called Empire. Arkady Martine. Four stars.
Brilliant intrigue with a perfect fish out of water. I liked the AI run
City, the concept of succession memories, the social hierarchies and
Imago machines.

Gideon the Ninth. Tamsym Muir. Zero stars, not finished.
Another smart ass 18yr old girl with superhuman strength rebels.
Skeletons and dead people behaving as if they are alive.

The Ten Thousand Doors of January. Alix E. Harrow. Solid three stars.
I enjoyed this despite it being in the YA category.
