Pretty much what it says … something long, epic, and really good and engaging with a happy ending and overall “comfortable” tone that’s not too dark (though it can contain somewhat dark elements) by Valuable-Mango2815 Related: a book where the main character slowly loses control Slow-burn mysteries like Tana French or Donna Tartt Game development philosophy? I have wierd urge to read and don’t where to start I’m trying to get back into reading and i need engaging recs!
