The broken earth trilogy by NK Jemisin is written in second person, interesting style and a good read. (Fantasy, sci-fi)
Gardens of the moon by Steven Erikson, not really 'unique' but he does a lot of show and tell, so if you're willing to pay attention and think a long it's a great read. (fantasy)
Thank you!
I was checking to see if Broken Earth had been mentioned! It's the only story I'm aware of that does second person (not all chapters).
Broken Earth also has some truly badass twists/reveals, can reccommend!
I got brownie points with a high school English teacher for recognizing a quote from Half Asleep In Frog Pyjamas which is written in second person.
