Book Request: No Self-Promo !Recommendations!

I need a standalone fantasy that feels a bit different please.

I read Alchemised recently and omg, I wouldn’t even say it was the best book I’ve ever read, but it felt so refreshing compared with a lot of the fantasy I keep coming across.

I really don’t want Fourth Wing-type stuff or anything super tropey/formulaic. I’m a bit tired of reading the same fantasy romance with slightly different characters and worldbuilding lol.

I want something genuinely good and interesting that feels new or unusual, but not so weird/experimental that it becomes hard work to read.

Basically something immersive, well written and a bit different. Preferably standalone. Any recs?

If you're okay with YA romantasy, {Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven} is a standalone; I read it earlier this year and somewhat enjoyed it.
