By this I mean, a book you had to brace yourself to read, and you feel proud for having read. Did you enjoy the process of reading it?

  • The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi
  • Vita Nostra by Sergey and Marina Dyachenko

Both are underrated or underrepresented

I found The Quantum Thief to have too much unexplained jargon for a book without a glossary. The story and pacing and whatnot were great.
