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 🙂

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.
