epic one-book fantasy with great worldbuilding

[philstar22]

Anyone have any recs for one-book fantasy with interesting worldbuilding?

I don't read a ton of fantasy. But recently enjoyed a dark fantasy novel called Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher. Might be considered YA? But no silly romance or anything like that.

Oooo, I do like darker fantasy. Thanks.

I am not actually sure if this counts as fantasy, because I am never sure where 'fairytale retellings' and fantasy collide lol but Cinderella is Dead was really good.

The summary of that sounds amazing.

It's a one-book fantasy in that each book in the series is about a different person in a different place in the world but:

I really enjoyed The Perfect Assassin by K.A. Doore. An ace novice assassin in a fantasy desert city is tasked with solving a series of murders before all assassins are blamed for them.

Wheel of the Infinite, by Martha Wells.

It's fantasy, based on and Ancient Cambodia vibe.

SA, with more details:

- the lead has Had A Life before the start of the novel.
- how the politics interacts with the religious caste is fascinating.
- there's a small theatre troupe wandering through everything else, supplying shenanigans
- things boil up to Save the World shit by the end.
- nice, sweet romance.

Piranesi! It's closer to portal fantasy but it's a single, not super long, book with one complete story and it's got fantastic world-building.

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

I'm not a big fantasy reader, so IDK how equipped I am to give recs, but I did really enjoy Uprooted by Naomi Novik. It sucked me in from the start and was really gripping throughout. There were elements of it I personally wasn't crazy about, but I found the world-building, plot, and mood to be the strong points.
