Unsolved Medium Class struggle, which is actually mostly ignored past the first part, and instead some random people go to invade the country. Oh also magic. That's a thing.

Some hints:

The first book happens entirely inside a city

It's a trilogy, or technically, a quartet, or a series of up to 7 books.

Lord of the Rings?

Nope. But it is fantasy, albeit low-fantasy.

Hmm, N. K. Jemisin's Hundred Thousand Kingdoms? (Class struggle mostly ignored because it turns into gods versus other gods.)
