For context, I used to read a ton throughout Elementary up until Highschool. I absolutely loved the Percy Jackson and Ranger's Apprentice series when I was younger. So I'm looking for any recommendations that might fit that style of book but maybe for an older audience, for reference I'm 21 now.
I still am a huge fan of mythology and the fantasy genre so any recommendations would be great! 🙂
Thanks so much!
EDIT: Book length doesn't matter to me, but the more pages the better and if it's a part of a series that's also great

Jim Butcher Codex Alera series,
Hi there ! I always recommend this saga but it’s for a good reason I promise, but rom what you’re saying I feel like you’d enjoy the spook’s apprentice series 🙂 it’s fast paced and well written, with incredibly world building and good lore (there’s even a bestiary you can buy!!) it was meant for teens but honestly reads amazing as an adult ! In the same vein, there’s Pullman’s trilogy his dark materials, which is a masterpiece and so so special ! If you want something that’s going to make you work for it, I’d recommend The Will of the many, which is set in a fantasy world mingling Roman history and culture, but the writing can feel convoluted at times (I hate when people tell you to hold on like I’m here to have fun but truly I held on and for ONCE it was worth it) ! If you ever have read any of these, please let me know what you thought and happy reading !
Dungeon Crawler Carl is an excellent series. Seven books are out so far, with more to come.
The First Law Trilogy
Guards! Guards!
Forging Zero (The Legend of Zero, book 1) by Sara King. It’s amazing. I’ve read and listened to it many times. There are many books in the series.
