I am craving books where the characters are discovering either unknown, mysterious parts of their own world or other worlds. Can be fantasy, sci-fi, literary, I don't care. I do prefer more character than plot driven though.
I just finished A Letter to the Luminous Deep and while this aspect is small and near the end, I really enjoyed it and realized this is one of my favorite things in stories and games.

If you’re open to middle grade fantasy, I really love the [Nevermoor](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/6a6d5ca1-b2f5-47be-828c-018144d3bbc7) series by Jessica Townsend! (It’s my favorite series even as an adult)
