A bit of a niche request, but I've found all three authors write a particular style of fantasy with prose that is very evocative and gorgeous while still feeling coherent and original, with interesting characters and world building!
Some of my favorites from each author include the Orphan's Tales duology and the Fairyland series by Catherynne M. Valente, The Forgotten Beasts of Eld and Ombria in Shadow by Patricia A. McKillip, and Spindle's End and Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley. I've read other books by each author, but I feel like these capture the main "vibe."
Recs can either be particular books or other authors to explore! Thank you very much in advance and I hope you have a lovely read sometime soon.
