    I’m not a fantasy reader but I’m writing a fantasy-ish novel and would like suggestions that are outside the fantasy norm and have the following qualities:

    1. An ethereal or surreal atmosphere
    2. Pretty prose with a sense of lyricism
    3. Lots of interiority. More focus on a character than lore or world building
    4. A sense of isolation
    5. A combination of literary fiction and genre fiction characteristics (think His Dark Materials)
    6. A lack of genre tropes or cliches

    Any recommendations?
