I’ve read half of the best novel finalists: Raven Scholar and The Everlasting are both great, but Death of the Author is the worst book I’ve read in years.
They’re not all bangers though. Alien Clay didn’t do it for me. A lot of repetition for themes and concepts that could have been wrapped up in a short story.

Similar. Shroud and A Drop of Corruption are both great. Corruption is the second book in the series. “The Tainted Cup” is the first.
Adrian Tchaikovsky is, imho, one of the all time greats.
Haven’t read any of the others.
What. New Adrian Tchaikovsky series dropped and I didn’t notice!? Brb.
Shroud is a standalone. Sorry.
I know how you feel. Just finished the last book in the Tyrant Philosophers. Have to seek out more and more…

I’d say The Final Architecture and The Tyrant Philosophers are his best series.
He does like his world spanning intelligences, though
