If you want something a bit more poetic and unique, try "The Spear Cuts Through Water" by Simon Jimenez. ... It's a complex and prose heavy work with an interesting framing device. This story heavily challenges what fantasy is/could be and deals with some heavy themes like connection, tyranny, generational trauma, and what does it mean to tell a story.
This is one of the best books I've ever read honestly. It does something with perspective shifts that I've never seen anywhere else, and it's made a lot of other writing feel inferior.
The Spear Cuts Through Water. Gorgeous standalone that I knew from the first page was going to be unforgettable.
The only one that really stuck in my head was The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez. I finished it a couple of weeks ago and I still randomly think about certain scenes when I'm trying to sleep. I honestly didn't expect to get that attached to it
