Book recommendations

Alright so I have been having issues recently finding a good book, I started a few that some people recommended like "the poppy war" by R. F. Kuang but — while probably not bad— they are not to my taste. So here i come in this sub asking for recommendations 🙂

Im searching for a book thats philosophical and psychological, I'm open to a little politics. Something similar to "Terra Ignota" by Ada Palmer or "Salina, the three exiles" by Lorent Gaudé which are both some of my favorite stories.

So while i am looking for something that will change my worldview and make me think deeper, i do still want characters and a story.

More info on things i like/dislike in a book

I like :

– Morally ambiguous characters

– An engaging story

– Complex writing, im okay with a more old-english writing style

– Interaction with the reader (definitely not necessary but a cool plus, especially if well done)

– Another world/timeline

I don't like :

– Romance (im okay with a little and if it has relevance in the story but overall not a big fan)

– Too much action (such as fights and superpowers, once again its okay if its a small part of the story)

– Self aware main character (i don't know how to explain it but basically interaction with the author, or are aware they are just story characters)

– Clichés (the basic stuff like prophecies, memory loss, school life, ect…)

I think thats about it, feel free to ask me questions if you need more info, and thank you for reading all of my post 🙂 hope this is the way i find a new good book!
