I haven't read many novels in my life, basically the Harry Potter books, I think 5 books of the Mistborn series (Sanderson), and 3 or 4 of the Old Kingdom books (Nix). Been a while too, I've been in an academic cave for too many years. Honestly, I'm not sure what to even ask for, I do know I thoroughly enjoyed all the above because they really took me through a whole new world (especially the Old Kingdom, nothing gave me more goosebumps than those books have). So I suppose I'm asking for a book series (let's say under between 3 and 5 books ideally) that's medium to high fantasy, not depressing, not too sophisticated in terms of writing (as in, lots of mental effort to read and understand) , and just .. enjoyable and well written. Ideally, not something with an absurd number of moving parts (e.g. dozens of species, and a super complex layered plot that needs a dissertation for a preface), just something to transport me to another world, where I feel like I don't want to put the book down. Hope I'm not being too picky, and thanks in advance!
