Fiction is something I find a bit hard to get into. I generally find myself picking up a book, not being interested and putting it back down, but I do find myself with a desire to find a book that I do like.
Partly it's becuase I'm curious about learning to write fiction- and yet I don't read fiction. I think that will not do.
I can tell you that I tend to like children's media and I like nonhuman characters, think anthros, aliens or fae or creatures of some kind.
As to reason why I like children's media, I'm not sure, but I like Helluva Boss (planning to watch Hazbin Hotel), so it's probably not necessarily child-friendliness I'm looking for, but an "over-the-top-ness", "fantasticalness" quirkiness and strength of aesthetic that is more likely to be present in children's media but not necessarily.
I'm not certain I want adult books, but try me.
As for inhuman characters, I'm not sure if it's anything to necessarily to do with their inhuman-ness but becuase they also tend to have a greater amount of over-the-top-ness and fantasticalness.
I can't help but feel human main characters would reduce the chance that I even try a book. - I am biased against them at this point, I always seem to find human characters uninteresting and too mundane and I like fantasy creatures.
So I'm looking for high fantasy I guess, only my idea of "high fantasy" is Sonic, My little pony :FIM, Rayman, Strange Magic, Helluva Boss. The Hobbit and Harry Potter is pretty mundane to me.
Hmmm. Well, I guess you could try Mercedes Lackey's Arrows of the Queen novels? They feature some pretty cool animal characters. They're geared towards young adults. There's Jennifer Roberson's Shapechangers, which is old but good. You could try Martha Wells' Raksura books starting with The Cloud Roads; she's one of my favorite authors. Naomi Novik did a series about dragons starting with His Majesty's Dragon, which is also a fun read. Best of luck to you
