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?
