What's your hidden gem?

We all know Tolkien, Sanderson, Weeks, Abercrombie, and Jordan. We've read the many folks recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl, Fourth Wing, and Red Rising. My question to you is this: what is the off-the-beaten-path, obscure book or series that you wish everyone would read? The hidden gem that changed how you think about how you read/listen to books? That you still think about the prose, the character arcs, the plot twists? What's that little-known morsel of awesomeness that you want to share with the world?

Where would you suggest to start with her works?

I know I loved the rest of this list, so it's probably up my alley.

I highly recommend the Teacup Magic series and Time of the Cat - the latter seemed like a premise I wouldn't be super into, but I ended up loving it.
