The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. I’ve only read Name of the Wind so far and I liked it. The magic is presented in a unique/neat way I think.

Sounds like you enjoy some magical realism like Alice Hoffman or Charles de Lint’s Newford tales. If you want something more fantastical, I love The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. If you want something less fantastical – What You Are Looking for Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama.

“If you’re looking for a fantasy that’s both fun and thought-provoking, ‘Discworld’ by Terry Pratchett, beginning with ‘The Color of Magic,’ is my recommendation. Pratchett’s satirical take on fantasy tropes, combined with his incisive social commentary, makes for a highly entertaining read.”

Ruth Hogan. Both **The Keeper of Lost Things** and **The Moon, the Stars and Madame Burova** are lovely stories where magic is just part of everyday life. Both books also feature lovable dogs.
