@V_ agreed 😊 don’t give up hope. It’ll come. Another fav fantasy - though not about a magic school - Kings of the Wyld. I found it a lot of fun. And different - it’s about grown ups for a start ha! I like that it’s a stand alone book though Nicholas Eames has written a follow up around some of the same characters. It became super real with the audible narrator doing many a fun voice. I’m like you, into all the magic stuff (loved Harry Potter). Also had great fun (and tears) reading Pullman’s His Dark Materials. His Sally Lockhart books were also incredibly gripping. Then Philip Reeve’s Mortal Engine series plus Fever Crumb series kept me busy for a while. I had a blast reading all of them.
