Recommend me, a 46m, a modern fantasy book that I can escape the world with

I'm trying to go more analog in life in general and disconnect from the endless roiling nightmare that is the current age. And I haven't read a book in ages. I can feel my brain rotting away and I want to fight that before I melt into mental nothingness.

The last books I liked: Legends and Lattes - It was light, fun, and didn't make me feel bad; Gideon the Ninth - Just felt fresh at the time. All Systems Red - quick and light.

Romance/sex in books is lost on me. Not against it, just not a selling point for me.

I've read a few Brandon Sanderson books and they're fine. They just feel... assembly line? Dunno.

I tried The Name of the Wind and got 300 or 400 pages into it and just sort of dropped off.

I tried Dungeon Crawler Carl but dropped off, but that was probably due to external circumstances. I may return to it.

I like elaborate worlds with little exposition. Internally consistent rules, but where you as the reader just have to suss it out on your own. There is a fantastic indie bookstore across the street from me with a huge fantasy/sci-fi section.
