Look, if you want exploration, you gotta be okay with some wandering. A lot of modern fantasy is so plot-tight it forgets to let the world breathe.
That's why I keep going back to 'The Memoirs of Lady Trent' by Marie Brennan. It's a naturalist's journal in a fantasy world. The 'magic' is in the dragons—studying them, classifying them, traveling to remote valleys to observe their behavior. The exploration is scientific and perilous, and the magic feels real because it's treated as a natural phenomenon. The first book, 'A Natural History of Dragons', sets the tone perfectly. You're not following a chosen one to save the world; you're following a fiercely curious woman who just wants to learn, and that makes every discovery she makes hit harder.

Adrian Tchaikovsky's 'The Doors of Eden' is a fascinating take. It blends speculative evolution with parallel worlds—each chapter explores a different Earth where evolution took a wild turn, linked by a subtle underlying 'magic' of physics. The exploration is across realities, piecing together why they're connecting. It's less about wizards and more about theoretical biology as adventure. The sense of scale is immense, and the 'magic' feels grounded in a chilling, cosmic logic.

I'm more drawn to the exploration side than the magic system, honestly. Some books treat magic like a tool, others make it the landscape, and the latter is where exploration really shines.
'Piranesi' by Susanna Clarke is basically all exploration. The magic is in the setting itself, this endless house with oceans inside rooms and statues holding up the sky. You're figuring out the rules alongside the narrator, and the wonder is constant. It's less about casting spells and more about mapping an impossible place. The feeling of discovery is the whole point, and it's completely intoxicating.
For a totally different vibe, Martha Wells' 'The Books of the Raksura' has the characters exploring a wildly original world with floating islands and multiple sentient species. The magic is often biological or tied to ancient artifacts, so uncovering a new ruin or ecosystem feels like solving a magical mystery. The exploration drives the plot forward in a way that's deeply satisfying.

Many years ago, dragons discovered the supreme good that the Earth could offer to any of its creatures. A red gem, which the king of dragons named "The Heart of Magic" because of its shape, resembled a heart.
The magic gem fulfilled their greatest desires.
All the dragons in the world obtained a necklace with a small piece of the red gem that shone. All the dragons born afterward also carried the same necklace.
Then, when the gem got stolen, this light went out of every necklace, and the dragons lost these magical abilities that the gem had given them.
But before this could happen, after fulfilling these desires, the dragons used them against the humans, enslaving them, but when the gem got stolen, it was all over.
Dragons are still looking for it, and humans wish never to be found so that they do not go through the same thing again.
Princess Edith, after a family tragedy, she will be forced to go in search of the gem. Through the journey of investigation, she will discover that she possesses special powers that she did not know that she has until that moment.
Drake is the Dragon King's son and will be secretly sent to help Edith seek the gem.
Carrying his dark and heavy past on his back, he moves forward with his life with no regrets about his actions back then.
Everything is about to change.
