just finished Last of the Mohicans and while all the characters were one dimensional and without development (to say nothing of a meandering, pointless plot), the setting of the primordial North American forest was awesome and felt like a character unto itself
what books have you come across with a similar setting?

The shining
Wuthering heights
Rebecca
The beach
The secret history
Honestly a lot of stuff by du maurier or king could work
I mean the best part of Harry Potter is the setting. Characters are second and plot is dead last. But then again, the author is coocoo for cocoa puffs.
City of Saints and Madmen
Annihilation
Honestly, a lot of stuff by Jeff Vandermeer works here.
North Woods by Daniel Mason. Primordial forest from colonial era to present day.
Gormenghast
Annihilation
Piranesi
I haven’t read it, but based on what I’ve heard, I bet *The Hunchback of Notre Dame* would fit this.
