I really enjoy stylized writing, not super flowery or poetic, but something more than plain English. I think the best examples I have are authors Toni Morrison, Maggie Steifvater, and Benjamin Labatut. I shy away from high fantasy and most historical books, but enjoy some aspects of both. I haven't been enjoying Crime and Punishment, but I finally finished the Raven Cycle recently after waiting almost ten years, if that helps.
