Corinne

Oh. The Kingkiller Chronicles, and Lies of Locke Lamorra.

The Mists of Avalon… Kushiel’s Dart was pretty good too, though I haven’t read any but the first one.

A book to live in!

Wheel of time is good (but over 15 volumes) xanth and discworld also good (over 30 volumes each. If you want something more “adult”, try the First Law series by joe Abercrombie.

I liked Magician too, keep meaning to read the others by him.

Morrigans cross trilogy by Nora Robert’s.

Anything by Juliet Marillier I have read book 1 and 2 of Sevenwaters. Also Heart’s Blood and the Blackthorn and Grimm trilogy are good.

I like Naomi Novik especially Spinning Silver by her.

Currently reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson and I’m really enjoying it.

The Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb

And the Shades of Magic trilogy by VE Schwab

You might like the quirky mix of regular fiction and surrealism of Murakami.
