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?

Thank you

 

Would you say the first Stormlight arc ended at a good spot? I'm eager to start the series but have been staying away because it's unfinished...

I can't say much about that, as I have still a couple of hundred pages left, but I would still recommend it as the first 4½ books have been an amazing read.
Also if you haven't read the Mistborn series, I would highly recommend it as well, since there's a bit of overlap between that and the later Stormlight books
(but also basically any other Sanderson novel lol)
