Recent 5 stars for me:
Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone
How Dark the World Becomes by Frank Chadwick
Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie

Three Parts Dead was a five star here as well. The sequel,
Two Serpents Rise, was a 5+.
I don't give out fives often; most years, I don't find even one. Those two simply blew me away in a way that probably hasn't happened in the last 3-4 years of reading. I think either can be read as a standalone, they're in the same universe, but not set at the same time or with the same characters.
I'll also back
Cannery Row as my favorite all time classic.
