Something adult as apose to YA, gritty, mature themes but kind of like if Harry Potter was written for adults right from book one (doesn’t have to be that topic though) or outlander if it was less romance and more dark/paganism. A series would be great. Something with heartbreak and betrayal, lots of character development and strong emotions. Themes of friendship are essential, romance not so much although it can definitely feature. I tend to like clever writing and seamless world building.
I normally read literally fiction, classics and some contemporary lit but when I was younger I exclusively read fantasy and sci fi so it would be nice to revisit.
For an idea of my taste-
Three books I love: the master and margarita, the secret history, the stranger.
Three books I didn’t love: LOTR, the hobbit, pizza girl (I couldn’t really think of any others off the top of my head).
Thanks
