I’m finishing the Stormlight Archive series right now and I think I need something with a bit less of the murder / war / violence aspect that many fantasy books have.
Does anyone know some (not necessarily fantasy) fiction books that are less ‘depressing’ and are easy to read?
If you’re open to sci-fi:
Nathan Lowell - Smuggler Series (3 books, starting with milk run) or Trader Series (first 6 books, starting with quarter share)
Smuggler has more… Intrigue and whatnot. Trader is pretty straightforward and “feel good”, iirc.
I would say read both series to those points before going further with the Seeker Series and later books. I forget where in the series but at some point the characters cross paths so having read both series before then helps it all fit together.
