Hey everyone! Like the title suggests, I’m looking for books with blend of lush, atmospheric writing and mythology/folklore woven into the story. Bonus points for a non Greek/Roman story (read plenty of those already), plus supernatural beings actually being characters in the plot rather than just “influences” or stories.
Books I’ve read and loved in this vein: Gods of Jade and Shadow, The Bear and the Nightingale trilogy, Circe (and most of the recent Greek myth-based novels). What else should be on my list?
