A Court of Mist and Fury
Sarah J. Maas
The seductive and stunning #1 New York Times bestselling sequel to Sarah J. Maas's spellbinding A Court of Thorns and Roses . Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart. Though she's now been granted the powers and lifespan of the High Fae, she is haunted by her time Under the Mountain and the terrible deeds she performed to save the lives of Tamlin and his people. As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre's hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin. While Feyre navigates a dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms. She might just be the key to stopping it, but only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future-and the future of a world in turmoil. Bestselling author Sarah J. Maas's masterful storytelling brings this second book in her dazzling, sexy, action-packed series to new heights.

It's a wonderfully educational book about bipolarity. I feel very enlightened and much more at peace with my diagnosis after reading this.

Hello! I'm trying to help a friend find something new to read. She is a big fantasy nerd but she's not at all interested in romantasy (a little romantic side plot is fine) and she finds it hard to know what books could be of interest.
Her absolute favorite books are the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Deptford Mice. She's been listening to these books over and over bc she can't get into any new books. I think she'd appreciate something that's easy to get into, maybe not very lore-heavy from the start (aka probably not the right one for her if it's 500 pages of world building before you can connect with the characters).
Got any recommendations?🥰
EDIT: redwall is the mice books she likes, not Deptford💀

Nidamörkur
Peter Fröberg Idling
Simon har förlorat sin släktgård och längtar tillbaka till barndomens somrar på södra Gotland. Som andra generationens storstadsbo vill han återknyta banden med vad han ser som sin egentliga hembygd. När han får möjlighet att köpa en tomt slår han till, utan att fråga sin sambo Jenny. Men hon delar inte alls hans entusiasm inför ett gotländskt sommarhus. I takt med att husbygget ändå fortskrider och deras förhållande blir allt sämre visar sig själva platsen vara motsträvig. Brunnsvattnet, som ska vara tjänligt enligt rapport, bränner som eld i munnen. Tomtmarkörerna svartnar nedifrån. Det är platsen ”där eldar brann” enligt den muntliga traditionen. När Jenny läser en gammal utgrävningsrapport i Riksantikvarieämbetets arkiv väcks hennes oro. Arkeologi tänker vi oss som en stillsam verksamhet, där nya bitar långsamt läggs i det jättepussel som är vår gemensamma historia. Men ibland blottlägger utgrävningar förhållanden som är lika svårtydbara som skrämmande. Det är denna mörka arkeologi som är motivet i Peter Fröberg Idlings nya roman. I Nidamörkur har Peter Fröberg Idling lyckats förena den litterära romanens stilistiska höjd med skräckberättelsens förmåga att gestalta mänskliga och omänskliga nattsidor.
