I’d have to read them again to see what you’re talking about.

Or, hear me out - read absolutely anything else.

The Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin is incredible, highly recommend.

The first three Red Rising books are also a complete trilogy story that's got all the heroics of Star Wars or Harry Potter but is actually really good and doesn't portray one loser wanna-be-cop as the savoir of a status quo, it's a story about an actual revolution and the actual overthrow of an evil society. And the audiobook narrator has the sexiest Irish accent.
