The Dagger and the Coin series is rapidly becoming one of my favorite ever. (Elevator pitch: banking + dragons. Obviously, my objectivity is compromised.) It is the rare work that grows in ambition over time and simultaneously in skill to meet it.

Also quite possibly the best series I've ever read where every POV character thoroughly believes that they are the center of the story that most matters in the universe, which is a piece of writing advice mostly observed in the breach.

It also has one of the best written antagonists I've seen in awhile - it's so easy to understand him, but he's still scum.

"What does the villain want?" a tragically underasked question in fiction, and this series attempts to remedy it by repeatedly verbally asking the villain that question explicitly. (Caveat: I'm not sure he's the villain, per se. A sociopath, certainly, and a powerful one.)
