I finished The Craft Sequence and gosh it's so good
The worldbuilding is fantastic, the cultures don't feel like erzatz proxies. It manages to deal with extremely heavy themes with real world impact without them feeling out of place, because they're each integral to the setting and its own social/political dynamics as well.
So there's no jarring whiplash when you go from characters discussing theology, urban gentrification or free-market capitalism to a necromancer riding in on a zombie dragon. (because, well, how do you think he afforded it in the first place?)

I'm struggling to find a decent way to describe them well, which is apparently a not-uncommon issue; https://www.maxgladstone.com/2014/09/1364/
(also: as a transfem person myself, the transwoman who's the main character in Full Fathom Five is well-rounded and well-written, imo)
