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?

The way Brandon Sanderson introduces you into a world and makes you want to find out everything about it is one of his greatest talents. I wish I could remember the feeling I had first reading this book and bottle it forever.
