basically the title. I enjoyed fantasy as a kid but as an adult I haven’t read any except Harry Potter and The Magicians. I usually read literary fiction, realistic fiction, historical fiction. The mega popular romantasy series don’t necessarily appeal to me, but my mind could be changed.

Troubled Waters by Sharon Shinn.
Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl series is great fun and well-written. A quality page-turner.
The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow.
You might like *The Rivers of London* series by Ben Aaronovitch. Set in modern day London, the main character is a police constable who becomes aware of magical beings and systems in the area. The audiobooks are terrific
Yahtzee Croshaw, funny author with great characters.
Differently Morphus and Existentially Challenged – Governmental agency involved in the regulation of magic and extra dimensional beings.
Mogworld – Main character is undead. Hijinks ensue.
The Traveler’s Gate Trilogy by Will Wight. Magic is used by calling energy and creatures from other worlds called territories. People who can draw from their territories are called travelers. The first book in the series is House of Blades.
omg i was literally in your exact spot last year! i’d recommend “the night circus” by erin morgenstern – it’s got that literary fiction feel but with just enough magic to make it special.
I’m not a big fantasy reader myself, but I’ve enjoyed some magical realism type stories that could be a good starting point: Harry’s Trees, The Measure, The Invisible Life of Addie Larue
