not a big reader but I recently watched The Dark Crystal and its Series and really loved the setting. But I´m new to the genre and was wondering if there are anons that could recommend books with a similar feeling or any other fantasy books with this almost (doomlike/post-catastrophic and yet mythical?) feeling

The Dark Crystal is eerily peak fantasy precisely because of how alien it is. It has no humans whatsoever. It’s all props. It’s peak art (capital-a Art), period.
