I’m only knocking a star because to some degree it feels like pretty familiar ground but regardless what is here is very well written and a strong story. A woman trying to get ahead in her civil service career in the Britain ends up transferring from languages to a secret project that turns out to be being a handler for time traveler yanked from the past where he would have died on an expedition.
The relationships are great and fully realized especially and the story is pretty interesting even if it goes a little hand-wavey on the time travel and consequences bits. Would recommend.

In a weird Empire whose basis is genetic change wrought by titan’s blood and uniting to hold back these same monstrous titans as they try and migrate out of the sea annually, Ana and Din are a Sherlock and Watson pair, sent to solve crimes and dispense justice across the Empire.
This story sees them actually outside the Empire itself, where the titans’ blood is extracted, delving into an incomprehensible crime whose ramifications gradually become Empire-threatening if the criminal is left unchecked.
Absolutely great stuff, and even better than the first in the series in some ways. And the afterword by the author shows just how intentionally he has tackled certain subjects, which is also extremely impressive. I loved every word of it and hope he has a 3rd story in him of equal caliber!
