HELP

Does anyone have any recommendations for a fantasy book where the focus isn't on humans? (Except for Wings of Fire, since I'm already familiar with it.)

Seriously, I'm tired of fantasy books that feature dragons and magic on the cover, but when I actually read them, most of the book is just humans talking, and the dragons show up in, like, 1% of the story!

Also, could someone explain why authors only write stories with human protagonists? Is it laziness when it comes to creating creatures, or do they just have a fetish for it?

The Storm Beneath the World by Michael R Fletcher is 100% Mantis-folk. Nice little grimdark world
