The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, by N. K. Jemisin
I found the book through TFV 's rec, and it is as amazing as she said. There is a amazing pantheon, who are petty, dangerous and alien. There is a strong interesting female protagonist who must fight for her people 's survival while still mourning her mother 's murder. As an outcast, she strikes a tentative allience and tender relationship with the enslaved gods. There are political intrigue, mystery, deadly love and great world building. I squeed when I knew that it is only the first of the trilogy.

Effluent Engine by N. K. Jemisin
A short story written for Haiti charity auction, It has espionage, science and lesbian women of colour in love. It is everything I want in a steampunk story.
