Gritty Fatigue

I've been working through the First Law trilogy for a while now and I'm finally on the last book, The Last Argument of Kings. I find myself tiring of gritty fantasy. I took a break and shifted to comics to read some of Tom King's Batman and Gotham Central. Not really a break from the gritty, but still good stuff. Gotham Central has me wanting to rewatch The Wire again. I also picked up Lumberjanes and I (and the twins both) loved it (see below Owen making a goofy forced smile, caught reading through it the second time). It was a taste of the break I was looking for. I've been meaning to reread The Black Company and The Scar but I think I need to find something a bit less grim as a palette cleanser. Maybe A Closed and Common Orbit. I was reminded recently how much I liked The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and one of the things I enjoyed about it was its overall optimism.
