The Library at Mount Char is a bit like what you're describing - quite intimate in getting to know the characters but as the story develops there's a huge "holy shit" awe to it for me.
I also second the Ursula le Guin recommendation.
Mount Char is perfect if OP liked Annihilation, big agree
I've not actually read Annihilation but if it's anything like Mount Char I'm in, as that's one of my favorite books period.
Jeff Vandermeer in general is a fantastic author, I think the Area X books are my favorite but the Ambergris books and Borne are also great
I'll check some of those out, thanks!
