I saw you mentioned ordering the Border trilogy in another comment, but The Crossing (book 2) is genuinely some of the most stunning writing ever put to paper. The middle 100 pages or so especially has a beautiful dreamlike quality to it, almost like a collection of parables being passed down through generations, more like a spoken word mythos than literature. Can't recommend it enough!
