    I love my G power 2021. I broke the screen on my last one and briefly tired out the 2022 before finding a used 2021. What letld me back to the older model was the slightly smaller size and the wide-angle lens. It's worth has far exceeded the price for me. I use it much like you do, and the battery life is outstanding for a forgetful person like myself. As mentioned by others I'm addicted to the Moto actions (accessing the camera with the power button, and the flashlight through a motion are two I use multiple times a day).

    I think The Belgariad suffers from exactly what the OP was asking to avoid. I've read the series a few times and enjoy it, but it's still feels like it's based on a tweaked map of Earth. It's been such a long time, but one time that really struck me was when Belgarath, Garion and Silk travel across the land bridge into the other continent, as well as the northern sea and northern countries being so much like Scandinavia.
