[quote=Anonymous]I would like a fun immersive escapist read—but don’t want to be always inwardly groaning at the writing or plot holes. So LOTR. Circe, the Daevabad Trilogy would be great. Harry Potter probably would make the cut (politics aside). Read Fourth Wing and loved the dragons, but this would be the perfect example of terrible editing, repetitive phrasing, and nonsensical premises making me squirm throughout a read. Doesn’t have to be sci fi/ fantasy. I was thinking about Krakauer, who poses the opposite problem, good writing, but often heavy (important) subject matter. So I would love an Into Thin Air (b/c although disaster strikes, most of us, and certainly I would never in a million years climb Everest)--but an Under the Banner of Heaven, while a great book, is way too real, relevant and (actually) frightening.
