Counter to that tweet, I am currently reading The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison (pen name of Sarah Monette).
The quasi Byzantine setting is refreshing and the writing and world-building is intelligent and interesting. Political/court intrigue without the YA trappings that so much of modern fantasy falls into. Messaging is also pretty progressive without beating you around the head with it.
Highly recommended. I hope it sticks the landing, because the lead up has been great.
