So I just re-read the Scholomance series by Naomi Novik. It's probably one of my favorite trilogies ever, highly recommend.
I'm in the market for other books that scratch this itch. Namely, modern fantasy with maybe a sardonic or darker edge, doesn't necessarily need to involve schooling of any kind, ofc. Don't suggest Harry Potter to me for the love of God.
