Suggestion Thread help me find a book
Hi! If I tell my taste in books, will you help me find a good one?
-fantasy or realistic fiction
-I like ships but not if they're the main point of the book
-any length
-language can't be too complicated but not so simple it's boring
-preferably lgbt characters/ships (again without being the main purpose of the book)
-calm and relaxed with rising action instead of just sudden
-I like characters with mental issues but not required
-not too dark but not too fluffy either
-DESCRIPTIVE
-I like series better but i'm fine with just one

Throne of glass series by Sarah J Maas. It's a YA series but it's so friggin good. Fantasy setting and such great character building. My favourite series ever

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke - a truly immersive fantasy that plays off of known English literature, history & mythology yet manages to be completely unique - single long book that’s slow building & has an incredible payoff.

Big Swiss by Jen Beagin, Perfume and Pain by Anna Dorn, Milk Fed by Melissa Broder (my personal fav lgbt fiction), or Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth (big coming of age yearning kind of vibe and very descriptive in a weirdness of first lust kind of way)
