K. B. Wagers is a great author. I started with Behind the Throne and read the whole Indranan War series. Next trilogy was the Farian War. Haven't read past those although I want to! Her new stuff looks interesting.

I also really like N. K. Jemisin. My favorite is the Dreamblood series.

Another vote for NK Jemison, she's good.

I find Mieville's books dreamy in a way (though gritty there is a dreamlike or trippy quality to them) so will also suggest:

Ian McDonald

Charlie Jane Anders

Patricia McKillip if you like fantasy

The book "This is the way you lose the time war"

I've been enjoying Django Wexler's Shadow Campaigns series so much. If you like these sideways military stories, Naomi Novik has a good one too.

If you like Neal Stevenson, will probably like William Gibson too, they are different but I like both.
