I’m really just looking for a book or series where you can truly tell the author their time with. Something intricate, well written (maybe even complex) in terms of it’s overall plot coupled with interesting, complex and detailed character writing.
I’m a huge fan of detailed and intricate worldbuilding but I’m not expecting anything of the scale of ASOIAF so this isn’t a must.
I’m open to any and all genres, classic or modern. I really just want to get swept away in a story that feels extremely meticulous, interesting in it’s plotting coupled with well-realised, interesting and layered characters.
If I can provide an example but the last piece of fiction that really gripped me was House of the Dragon. It was essentially a cast of well realised, interesting and detailed charcaters put into conflict with each other for their own reasons, navigating the power structures of an unforgiving world. This is of the high I’m chasing right now.
