Book recs pls

Got a gift card for books but I don't have a book in mind atm. Would love some of your favs and even some recs.

Typically I like fantasy, no smut, not heavy on the romance, mystery is fun to read, action is great. Some books I quite like is 'Six of Crows', 'The song of Achilles' and 'The Twist of a Knife' -Anthony Horowitz.
I'm always open to other genres, just not smut I don't think I can hide it from my parents

    the book thief, if u haven't read it is a great one. anything by khaled hosseini (especially a thousand splendid suns). i also rly liked the cruel prince trilogy, although that's pretty controversial

    I looked it up and my god that looks amazing, anything I should be warned about before reading? Quite an old book so I assume there's going to be some outdated things

    Read an extract in school and had been on my to read list ever since, just never managed to find it. And yeah cruel prince is controversial, some of my friends adore it while everyone else says it's average

    oh yea, one of the characters is really misogynistic and there's gonna be A LOT of outdated ideals on roles of women and stuff like that so be warned. Other than that, nothing too explicit.
