    My brother is really struggling with his mental health right now. He used to love reading, but like a lot of adults, fell out of it. He’s mentioned a few times that reading sounds like it could be a good escape for him. I’d love any and all recommendations — just trying to help him find something to connect to again.

    His favorites:
    – Any and all JR Tolkien
    – Game of Thrones
    – The Witcher
    – He’s really into sci/fi and fantasy

    Triggers:
    – Characters with mental illness
    – On page death or harm to family member

    Suggestions I’m thinking (but open to others!):
    + Brandon Sanderson — I’ve heard good things about his world building, but haven’t read his books.
    + Throne of Glass by SJM — Ultimately, I think he’d enjoy the world, plot, & character development of this, but I don’t think he’d be into the romance storyline line?

    Thanks for the help!
