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?

Piranesi is a personal favorite of mine, overall uplifting.

No problem! It was really refreshing for me when I read it last year, hope you enjoy it!

Thank you.
This one's already on my list and planned to read it after the least depressing book that I can find now 🙃

Cool! It has some mystery and suspence, and is technically something that should be scary, but the protagonist is the narrator and nearly always has an optimistic wonder.
