I agree. I have read the stories many times. It's a shame that more of the content couldn't be blended into the movie (starring Will Smith) a few years back.

A Deadly Education By Naomi Novik $1.99 Amazon, Kobo and B&N
Fantasy - by author of Temeraire series.

We By Yevgeny Zamyatin $1.99 Amazon, Kobo and B&N
Scifi - apparently influenced the book 1984 as well as other dystopian writers. This is an old book, and reflects the Totalitarianism of the rapidly advancing Communist Party in Russia.

In a future where individual freedom is nonexistent, a mathematician known only as D-503 discovers the dangers of falling for a rebellious woman.

There are several translations of this, including one in the public domain. You probably mean the Mirra Ginsburg translation, which is on sale.

That cover is gorgeous, by the way. And it looks like great fun. If it dwells too deeply into the sociopolitical situation of our current times, then it's a simple matter to just close it.
I didn't find it particularly romance-heavy or dwelling into current sociopolitical situations. Drawing more on middle eastern mythology.

Seven Devils by Laura Lam and Elizabeth May is $4.99 (50%) on Amazon.com.
First in two-part series about a spaceship crew of rebels fighting the empire.
Quote:
When Eris faked her death, she thought she had left her old life as the heir to the galaxy's most ruthless empire behind. But her recruitment by the Novantaen Resistance, an organization opposed to the empire's voracious expansion, throws her right back into the fray.

Eris has been assigned a new mission: to infiltrate a spaceship ferrying deadly cargo and return the intelligence gathered to the Resistance. But her partner for the mission, mechanic and hotshot pilot Cloelia, bears an old grudge against Eris, making an already difficult infiltration even more complicated.

When they find the ship, they discover more than they bargained for: three fugitives with firsthand knowledge of the corrupt empire's inner workings.

Together, these women possess the knowledge and capabilities to bring the empire to its knees. But the clock is ticking: the new heir to the empire plans to disrupt a peace summit with the only remaining alien empire, ensuring the empire’s continued expansion. If they can find a way to stop him, they will save the galaxy. If they can't, millions may die.
Locus review by Liz Bourke.

We got it and read it for the Hugos. Frankly, I found the 'Urban Fantasy' tag to be misleading; it starts as historical urban fantasy (supposedly Napoleonic era Cairo), but quickly becomes a straight fantasy (albeit set in a hidden city in the real world). I found it disappointing, it seemed to me to be rather unfocussed. We've got the other 2 - himself picked them up and read them, I haven't so far - there's books more to my taste higher on the TBR pile.

I would have enjoyed it more if the action stayed in Cairo with the occasional foray out of Cairo; to me that would made for a much better book and storyline. I will say it was a better read than the Bradley Beaulieu Song of the Shattered Sands series which to me was a clear case of cultural appropriation.

A good Middle Eastern urban fantasy is Judith Tarr's A Wind in Cairo, along with her Alamut and The Hound and Falcon series. I also enjoyed George Alec Effinger's Marid Audran and John Courtney Grimwood's Arabesk series.

The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Vol. I by Diana Wynne Jones is $1.99 at Amazon US.

Quote:
Volume I contains Charmed Life and The Lives of Christopher Chant.

In Charmed Life, the first Chrestomanci book, the orphaned Cat Chant and his sister Gwendolen are taken to live at Chrestomanci Castle. There they are under the guardianship and tutelage of the Chrestomanci—a nine-lived enchanter who polices the many worlds of the multiverse. Gwendolen thinks highly of herself and her magical skills, but it soon comes out that Cat is the more powerful. He himself is a nine-lived enchanter and will one day take up Chrestomanci’s job—if he and Chrestomanci can stop Gwendolen from wreaking havoc in multiple worlds.

The Lives of Christopher Chant is the story of Chrestomanci’s own childhood and how he came to live at the Castle himself. With distracted parents, a nefarious uncle, and a severe guardian who was Chrestomanci before Christopher, it’s no wonder that Christopher keeps losing his lives.

The first of three volumes, the Chronicles of Chrestomanci can be read in any order.

I only saw a single volume omnibus and then a single collection of the first three books.

Mixed Magics seems to be left out of the US omnibus collections. Not sure why, as I am not a Chrestomanci scholar.

Quote:
When Daniel Eakins inherits a time machine, he soon realizes that he has enormous power to shape the course of history. He can foil terrorists, prevent assassinations, or just make some fast money at the racetrack. And if he doesn't like the results of the change, he can simply go back in time and talk himself out of making it! But Dan soon finds that there are limits to his powers and forces beyond his control.
