the traitor baru cormorant by seth dickinson

When it comes to politically didactic novels, I think this one is quite good because the prose is strong and the main character is intelligent while very obviously flawed. The start is gripping, but it drags on, and I think it suffers from how, from Baru's perspective, there isn't really any character who's smarter than Baru.

the yahoo boys by carlos barragan

 I liked that the writing style was a bit stilted and unusual; it came across, even as it's probably just a result of english nonfluency...
