brilliant, profoundly traumatized, can destroy you (literally and/or figuratively)

I do think Jay hit all the notes that I would; also, characters with a certain degree of genre savviness about reality (ie they understand the rules by which people and narrative structures around them function and can manipulate that to their own ends)

I think you would enjoy Phillippe from Aliette de Bodard's House of Shattered Wings series

House of Shattered Wings is the first, then House of Binding Thorns and House of Sundering Flame!

there are a few novellas that can be read after the main trilogy

but I think they are right up your alley, post-apocalyptic colonial powers and mythologies from different parts of the world crashing into each other and graphic body horror all combined

the first book starts with our protagonists trying to butcher and eat a fallen angel for the power in her blood and bone!

“Funerals are for the living," said Kissen as she noticed Inara looking. "The dead don't mind what the world does to them.”
