"On Blue's Waters" by Gene Wolfe.
If you haven't heard of the Solar Cycle, or looked into "The Book of the New Sun", I can't recommend it enough.
My brother was finally able to finish the fifth book recently after starting the series roughly 10 years ago, and the fact that he immediately started rereading from the beginning is a testament to how well this series sticks with you.
I made it all the way to "The Sword of the Lictor" last year but got sidelined when Wind and Truth came out so I have restarted. Talk about atmospheric/vibes, this series is prettt unique in my experience.
You've got to try and go back and finish it. The series was made for the reread. I love the atmosphere and The Vibes, but after you finish the series a bunch of things just click into place and you've got to go back and start reading from the beginning again.
It's one of those series that would create such a cool show or movie because of the atmosphere, but I don't think we could be done well because there is so many things hidden in the words that you really couldn't hide in a visual format.
