I also don’t like Martin’s writing style. But I love the lore. I just can’t do another series. What’s one book that has the kind of worldbuilding that made us all love (and then hate the unfinished state of) A Song of Ice and Fire?

It’s really hard to compare (nearly complete) series with a standalone book.
Maybe try Mistborn: The Final Empire, and just read that specific entry of the Mistborn series and ignore all the other Cosmere books.
Unfortunately I’m not very good an answering this question, because I often go for long running fantasy series and not one off books.
I’m assuming you’re looking for something in the realm of high fantasy, right? Or are you genre-flexible?
The first mistborn book is great. While the rest of the series is also quite good, imo it just does not quite reach the level of the first book. Fortunately, that one can be read standalone.
was looking for high fantasy, i already read a lot of sci fi
