Hi all,
I have been a long time reader of star wars material, but am running out of stuff to read. I find that I have a slightly "strange" taste in books though. I can often overlook writers that are seen as "juvenile" or just bad if the world and/or plot drags me in. However I don't like overly explicit depictions of violence and sex and find that I don't enjoy stories that are too dark either. I have enjoyed the stories by authors like John Jackson Miller, Drew Karpyshyn, James Luceno, Timothy Zahn and Kevin J. Anderson (some of these authors are considered good, others not so good), but haven't enjoyed authors like Paul S. Kemp and Matthew Stover (both of whom are too dark and violent for me though well liked).
Other things that I have read/watched/played and enjoyed include Merlin (BBC TV series), Atlantis (BBC TV series), Defiance (TV series), Legend of the seeker (loved the TV series, but hated the violence and sex in the sword of truth books), Mass Effect series, Jade Empire and the Marvel cinematic universe. I am also the one person in the world that hates the game of thrones TV series, I don't just like the violence or sex and find myself getting more and more depressed each time a character is killed off.
Any suggestions on what I may enjoy would be greatly appreciated.
I would be happy with recommendations form either fantasy or science fiction.
