Something good with politics and relationships?

I would be so grateful for some recommendations from you lovely people!

Love: - Mistborn era 1 - Priory of the Orange Tree (and even more, A Day of Fallen Night ❤️) - Kushiel’s (all 6 of them) - LOTR - Riftwar (the first ones, and the Empire trilogy) - Anne McCaffrey (the good Pern books, Crystal Singer) - N.K. Jemisin (Dreamblood duo more than Broken Earth) - Babel (found it fascinating and frustrating in a thought-provoking way) - As a younger person (and still, who are we kidding): Potter, Redwall, Narnia, His Dark Materials, Madeleine L’Engle - Genre-adjacent: anything by Atwood, Shadow of the Wind, Circe ❤️

Don’t love: - Stormlight Archive (got through 2 but had to slog through them) - Wheel of Time (see above) - Mistborn era 2 (change of setting threw me and I didn’t like the humor at all)

I think I’ve realized I like a good romance, but it’s not essential and not if it’s the only actual thing that the book is about (I enjoyed Throne of Glass, but couldn’t stand ACOTAR). In general character- and relationship-driven. I don’t mind a little quirky, I like politics & intrigue more than battles. What do you think?
