I've been looking for a fantasy book presenting the same vibes as the DnD Wizard: magic based on learning and research, the search for ancient tomes in archives, and some really awesome magic systems.
I also enjoy themes such as: forbidden knowledge, settings covered in ruins of a bygone civilization, uncovering ancient histories, and I wouldn't mind a dragon.
I'd prefer it if the fantasy was either high or dark. Urban fantasy is okay but I'm a bit bored of it.
