Anyone know of any books that are like the aesthetic of shrek. All medieval fairy tale esque. Not necessarily the same vibe as shrek, but like the world…lol
The Lunar Chronicles By Marissa Meyer, Book 1 is Cinder.
Meyer got the tag “Queen of fairytale retellings,” after this series. A futuristic fairytale saga starting with the tale of a teenage cyborg who must fight for Earth’s survival against villains from outer space. fun mashup of fairytales and sci-fi

Any of Terry Pratchetts Discworld books. Satirical fantasy. Occasionaly dark but also hopeful and very funny with brilliantly written characters. And puns, so many puns. Guards, Guards is a good book to start with.
