'Children of Time' A dying Earth has sent out colonizing ships in hopes of finding and terraforming new worlds. When the original plan falls apart, a strange new life form emerges. [Children of Time]
'City of Last Chances' Fantasy. The last worshipper of a forgotten god carries a temple on his back and performs miracles for scrapes of bread. An invading army has taken over the city and wises to destroy anything even remotely unscientific. [The Tyrant Philosophers]

Read the synopsis of some of his stuff, it seems that he’s right up my alley. What’s a recommended first read for a Malazan and Cosmere guy?

But then you'd be up all night unable to sleep, so you read until 412am.
