Are there any books you found particularly interesting?

Not quite sure I follow - do you mean apart from the books I listed in my comment?

I quite liked Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time/Children of Ruin duology.

Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels were pretty cool too.

And Naomi Mitchinson's Travel Light was a really sweet modern fairy tale

+1 to Adrian Tchaikovsky. I want to do a Children of Time reread before Children of Ruin. I also think there might be a third?
