Recs if you like Menewood (The Hild Sequence, #2)...

Fiction that passes the Fries Test:

Does a work have more than one disabled character? Do the disabled characters have their own narrative purpose other than the education and profit of a nondisabled character? Is the character’s disability not eradicated either by curing or killing?

Recommendations welcome.

Books with intricate, immersive descriptions of the forest, where it's a character unto itself. Books that make you want to lie in the underbrush and stare at the canopy. Books that root you to the earth and remind you where you came from.
