Basically the title. I love fantasy books but I’m not a fan of gritty grimdark political stuff, but they’re the only fantasy books recommended to me.
I’d like to read something wholesome finally, and I’m totally cool with any type of fantasy book rec as long as they fit the post title’s question and are well-written. Preferably magical adventure vibes, I love those stuff.

They start as kids books but the Alanna of Tortall series by Tamora Pierce
I believe you need the Tiffany Aching books by Terry Pratchett.
And you would also love The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge.
You might enjoy Mistress Masham’s Repose by TH White.
Innkeeper chronicles by Ilona Andrews. Not very political with med to low violence.
Definitely The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches! Not high fantasy but magical and checks the found family and girlhood boxes
