Hello!
I haven’t been much of a reader in quite some time, but with the nation’s declining literacy rates, I’m looking to get back into reading as a pastime. Really feeling the need to stimulate those parts of my brain again!
I’m 23, so looking for something age appropriate. I’m definitely looking for something within the realm of fiction. I play DnD, so I do love fantasy settings quite a bit, but I’m really open to anything!
The last series that I really connected with was Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus, but reading more Riordan feels below my maturity level.
I would love a recommendation for something that’s a real page turner, something that really sucks you in. Can have romance, but it’s not necessarily a priority. I love anything with well thought out world building.
Any recommendations are welcome and appreciated! Thank you in advance, Reddit!

There are these latest mystery books by Uketsu, called Strange Houses, Strange Pictures and Strange Buildings. Very engaging.
Put for proper escapism try fantasy.
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke (very long but properly escape into a different world)
River enchanted by Rebecca Ross
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
The Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
Circe by Madeline Miller
[The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty](https://www.goodreads.com/series/211584-the-daevabad-trilogy) might fit the bill
