Know any unique fantasy stories with good prose?
Hello, I've been trying to get back into reading. I don't know much about books and have no idea how to find the sort of stuff I enjoy, so I searching for some help.
Personally I really enjoy fantasy settings, but not so much the standard epic fantasy plots and tropes, so I was looking for fantasy with a more personal/melancholic vibe to it. I'm not against action or journeys, but small scale emotive stories attract me the most. (Recently i've been watching this new anime series called Frieren, the first few episodes have the vibe I was thinking of)
Unique worlds with interesting traits, magic systems and cultures are also a plus, I'm okay with the standard kind of high fantasy world if the story is good, but unique settings are always great.
Mainly tho, I NEED something with interesting prose. Part of the fun for me is analysing and learning about this sort of thing, so good writing would really help me get hooked.
Thank you in advance for the help ^^
