Can anyone recommend fiction, perhaps sci-fi or fantasy, at the "not stupid, not impenetrable mental lifting" sweet spot?

I'd like to do some last-minute Kindle loading.

Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber are classics and the first cycle is very delightfully narrated

(Second cycle is narrated by Wil Wheaton so assess your personal Wesley tolerance)

Have you read the Mars trilogy? Very his science fiction with a political science theme. I also recommend The Bear and the Nightingale (I think it’s the Winter Witch trilogy?). Caraval is another good trilogy and very easy to read.
