I'm finishing the Stormlight Archive series right now and I think I need something with a bit less of the murder / war / violence aspect that many fantasy books have.

Does anyone know some (not necessarily fantasy) fiction books that are less 'depressing' and are easy to read?

The Expanse overall is a great story about selflessness and perseverance. Some of its darker but overall I'd call it hopeful if not happy.

The Reclaimers by Brian Sanderson is also incredibly hopeful.
