Advice for a first book , All suggestions are welcome (Some info below to direct a little)

Hello , first post here
I’ve never been a fan of books , honestly I’ve always hated reading
Then I discovered Sandman (Neil Gaiman), and I absolutely loved it. The occasionally poetic language, that pure imagination grounded in reality… it completely drew me in. (I know is not a book but a comic, but id like to move on to a book now)
Since then, I’ve been looking for similar works,stories that blend fantasy with a touch of the real world.
I also wouldn’t mind something with more adventure or action, as long as it still has that sense of depth and imagination
I wouldn’t mind trying something completely different either
Even something more "mature" if you have some suggestions
But the one genre I just can’t get into is crime or detective fiction.
Any recommendations?
