What are some of your favorite, must-read sci-fi and fantasy novels that transported you to other worlds? I want to get lost in a story and world.

I've been really enjoying The Wayfarer series by Becky Chambers. A little on the lighter side, but great world building imo

I'll second that. Firefly meets mass effect minus all that distracting gun fighting mularkey. World building and character development all the way. A solidly enjoyable read.
