The Iron Dragon's Daughter.
Dragons are malevolent fighter jets, inter-dimensional travel, weird magic, weird in general.

Pic related if that's not weird enough.

>Generally speaking
I think it holds true for media like TV series or movies, but with something like book releases that have very little marketing it can slip through cracks really easily.
There are so many releases that if you don't have a catchy cover/title or description people simply don't notice it and if only a few dozen people decide to buy it then spreading through word of mouth is simply going to be too slow to be effective.

And I forgot picture in my previous post.

>Is Carol Berg considered obscure?
Her most rated novel on goodreads has 6400 ratings.
So I'd say it's a little obscure for a book that released in 2000.
Not that using goodreads as a metric is perfect but it should be accurate enough to judge a book's popularity.

>It was too depressing.
And yet it was exactly what I was looking for.
But tastes differ and that's fine.
Too me most fantasy feels way too warm despite all kinds of atrocities happening, sci-fi generally feels a lot colder even if the worlds are *objectively* better
