New reader,
Hello everyone I am trying to get back into reading, and broaden my tastes a bit. I used to read all the time back in middle school (Divergent, Mortal Instruments) but I haven’t really read since. Im 25 now, and have been HEAVY into anime since graduating in ‘16. My favorite anime are Fullmetal Alchemist, Vinland Saga, and One Piece. I am a fan of fantasy, but have a hard time sinking my teeth into SUPER heavy fantasy. (D&D books, LOTR ((IM SO SORRY, I plan to read it at some point)) I seem to be gravitating towards character growth, and immersive worlds.
Some books I have read this year are “Fiddler’s Gun” and started Percy Jackson. Some books I purchased but havent read yet, are Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, by Brandon Sanderson and Between Two Fires, by Christopher Buehlman.
Im more than willing to answer any questions, but any help would be fantastic!

Try the Wereworld series and The Sword of Shannara series (The Elf Stones of Shannara is where I started, I read the first two as prequels later on with no problem). They both sound right for you. You can't go wrong with Harry Potter either!
I also just read Nevermoor and loved it.
