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?

    Cradle by Will Wight is both really good and a lot of fun to read, in my opinion. In a similar genre, Beware of Chicken by “Casualfarmer” is very enjoyable as well.

    Also, a little darker, especially in setting, but somehow not a depressing story in spite of that, Naomi Novik’s Scholomance trilogy is also excellent.

      Thank you, I’ll look into those.
       

      Also I’ve already read the Scholomance series, and I get what you’re saying, but I thought the premise with the school was kind of dark and the whole mawmouth situation was really fucked up ._.
