Any good book recommendations?
I've just started reading more since a month or so as well, but I'm having trouble finding good books - especially sci-fi stuff

I read the children of time books (2 of 3) and although the idea is cool, the writing style and also the (later) story itself isn't really good.

So I've looked into the Foundation series from Asimov. I started with the prelude and went on to the second book, but after Dune it feels very shallow and somehow written like an action movie (with easy/stupid solutions)

Isn't really the thread topic, but if your have any good books in mind, I would really appreciate it :⁠-⁠)

If you haven't read it, i really like The Expanse series, especially the last 3 books.

Edit: just started the first pages and it reads great!
Thank you very much for the recommendation :⁠-⁠)
