If you're into magic treehouses in your books, you can ease the transition from kids books to adult books by going via the Fantasy genre.
Granted, there will be more swords involved than in a kids book...
The adult books in fantasy are just about as bad as regular fiction in regards to the image. There’s still war, rape, affairs, etc…just dressed up with magic and swords. Maybe the change of environment makes it seem more distant?
Read something that isn't made by george
Hah, yeah, I quit ASoIaF 3/4 of the way thru the series because I got sick of nothing but people walking all over the continent to be met by fights, death, and misery. All the political intrigue was gone. It read like even Martin didn’t know wth he wanted to do and was just stretching it out for money and time. After the first 3 or four books the thing sucked. I read The Expanse instead. Fantastic series.
Even though I was a bit thonge in cheek in my post, there are a lot of great adult fantasy stories were nobody ever dies.
Did someone say magic tree house?
