i'm about to be on a plane for 18 hours to tokyo. the goal is to sleep through most of those, but at some point I'll probably wake up at some point. as a result I'm hoping to get some recommendations for some easy, breezy reads that ramp up quickly to distract me from being in a sardine can in the air.

in particular fun sci-fi / fantasy stuff would be nice. minority characters would also be great. recent and old stuff i like:

red rising
redwall
The Avatar F.C. Yee Books
Cyber Shogun Revolution
Iron Widow
Children of Blood and Bone

i don't care about particular tropes or "trope bundles" as I like to call them and are prevalent in sci-fi / fantasy and especially YA stuff. as long as it's interesting I'll read it.

i haven't gotten to read much in grad school so i have lots to catch up on
