Hello! I just finished listening to the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie, and wow does it meet the grimdark subgenre! But as great as the book series was, the authors strong suit was definitely character based writing.
So now as a palette cleanser, I was hoping you guys could suggest something that focuses more on nature and descriptors, along with being realistic fiction. If it could be more upbeat or at least not depressing that would be great as well.
I’m personally thinking something like the first chapter Of Mice and Men, or East of Eden even. (The issue is that neither of those are happy, cheery books iykyk). Thank you!!
