Ninth House (Alex Stern #1) by Leigh Bardugo

The Path of Daggers (The Wheel of Time #8) by Robert Jordan
You’ll find it greatly interesting if you don’t mind reading top-class character-building at the expense of plot progress.
Winter’s Heart (The Wheel of Time #9) by Robert Jordan
Also, the character development has reached a level where readers can actually identify characters by their speech, mannerisms and actions. It’s the height of realism.

Tomorrow I Become a Woman by Aiwanose Odafen
This world is essentially an unfair place for a woman, but the Nigerian culture is in a league of its own.
My Sister, the Serial Killer By Oyinkan Braithwaite
This book is awesome, and I finished it within a day, which was quite impressive by my standards, given that books usually take me a while to finish
