The World Is Hell But They Aren't
This is a list for those of you that love dark fantasy (dying gods, monsters in the woods, that kind of thing), but you also have a soft sides for softies. These books still have that grim atmosphere, but they also have characters who are green flags. Someone who asks permission, protects without smothering, or just does the right thing when no one else will.
