Books that give glimpses of what our lives look like in the eyes of entities that transcend our reality (gods, faeries, what have you) and in this way actually end up highlighting the “real” value of being human

I really liked the depiction of anubis in the show "american gods". Can you suggest me a book that you would deem as not just a nice read but actual good literature with the same beatiful metaphysically grounded element. One that gives glimpses of what our lives look like in the eyes of entities that transcend our reality (gods, faeries, what have you), and in that way actually end up highlighting the "real" value of being human
