Suggest me a book based on my 2025 tier list!

Here's my 2025 tier list of things I like/didn't like. Other than this, Discworld by Terry Pratchett and the Lord of the Rings are all-time favorites, and I don't care for Sanderson. I'm open for all genres and all authors (except hardcore smut please, romance is fine though), though in 2026 I'm particularly looking forward to reading books that are written from diverse perspectives, so recommendations in that vein are particularly welcome. Thank you in advance!
