Wow, didn't think my request would creat such a discussion lol!
To be honest, the "high" part isn't a strict requirement, I am mostly interested in non-European cultural fantasy. I really want to read something fantastical that involves different folkelore, something set in ancient times, but doesn't have knights in castles and a wizard with a pointy hat. This is why I like GRR Martin and Joe Abercrombie, they have some of the classical elements but add (albeit fictional) foreign culture and history, so I am looking for something more "authentic"
Thanks for all the recommendations, I shall investigate them all thoroughly on the weekend, and please carry on the conversation or add any other recommendations!
