Midnight Robber

Cool blend of classic science fiction tropes (aliens, nanotechnology) and folkore/mythology. The ultimate confrontation between the protagonist and her antagonist is a little awkward, but is made up for with the last few pages of the story. I've read other reviews that suggest that the language - both expositiona nd dialgoue - can be a little hard to follow because it's not "standard" (read: white North American English.) I listened to the Audible version read by Robin Miles, and highly recommend it. Robin Miles is an amazing reader, and really does justice to all of the voices and linguistic patterns required by the characters. I think the audio version really enhanced the beauty of Hopkinson's use of Anglo-patois (as well as Anglo-patois as spoken by aliens).
