I love the Chinese book "Unsheathed" (or Sword of Coming), it's a high fantasy (xianxia) novel with great writing. However, the English translation is not yet finished, currently around book 6 of 11 (which is about more than 4000 pages of writing). It's a story about a contryside orphan boy living in a small village starting to realize that the stories of gods, dragons, and immortals he heard about in folk tales and legends are actually all true, and that the world beyong the village is magical and fantastical in many ways.
