    Tropes I love:

    Found family, Enemies to lovers, Robot learns the power of love (actual robot/ android or just someone with stiff personality), Morally grey character learns to trust

    Tropes/ things I dislike:

    Miscommunication, General secondhand embarrassment, Intensely scary

    Fantasy, sci-fi, western, general fiction, non-fiction, or whatever- I like all genres. Spice or none -either is good

    Extra bonuses- I enjoy books that involve cultures and places I am less familiar with (I’m white North American), stand alone over series, prefer less than ~500 pages/ 20hrs

    I would love any suggestions in the wheelhouse of anything above. Thank you! (crossposted)

      The Priory of the Orange Tree hits a bunch of your boxes – found family vibes, morally complex characters, and it’s got amazing world building with different cultures. Fair warning though it’s like 800 pages so might not fit your length preference but totally worth it if you can swing it

      For something shorter maybe check out The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo – not fantasy but has that morally grey character development you’re looking for
