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:
- An ethereal or surreal atmosphere
- Pretty prose with a sense of lyricism
- Lots of interiority. More focus on a character than lore or world building
- A sense of isolation
- A combination of literary fiction and genre fiction characteristics (think His Dark Materials)
- A lack of genre tropes or cliches
Any recommendations?
