What's your favorite scifi or fantasy with a strong sense of place?Answer
I'm interested in new genre books where the setting is almost like a character. I'm especially interested in books that also have a strong plot. For me, the prime example is "Finch" by Jeff vandermeer. Maybe "City of Miracles" by Robert Jackson Bennett. What are books like this for you?
Why this book?
Scholomance is a self-sustaining magical school. From the way it interacts with the students and the mals, Scholomance is almost its own character.
