Martha Wells' The Wizard Hunters
A lot of times when I read books, I immediately forget almost everything about them (not sure if it's my memory or just the sheer volume of books I go through--but on multiple occasions I have read a book, gone to rate it on StoryGraph, and discovered I've read it before), but some of the images of this story really stick with me. Especially the bits in the cave--ages after I read this the first time, I found myself thinking about that and being like, was that that Martha Wells book? (It happened later with the boat, too.) That is to say--this is very atmospheric and compelling and more memorable than most things I read! Anyway, it's the story of a suicidal playwright (daughter of the characters from Death of the Necromancer) and how she's drawn into a wartime magic experiment that takes her to another world, where she befriends the locals and tries to figure out how to fight a war against forces they don't understand. Amazing characters—I love this series and this world.
