    so i’ve been rereading his dark materials and just loving it, but it’s so short 🙁 i plan to read his sally lockhart series after this, but after that im looking for something similar and struggling (preferably fantasy)
    particular aspects i like/looking for:

    • Pullman’s use of language i.e places, names, objects

    • depth in worldbuilding and lore (didnt like the cruel prince as i felt this was a little weak for me if that helps?)

    • ideally not looking for romance subplots but can be open to it

    • depth in plots

    • depth in history/lore of universe

    thanks 🙂

    1. You might like Robert Jackson Bennett’s oeuvre.

      Also Garth Nix’ Old Kingdom series, starts with *Sabriel*.

      Have you read the sequel series yet? There’s 2 books out so far, and they are fantastic. They’re much more mature than His Dark Materials too, which I really liked.
