Recs if you like The Lives of Christopher Chant (Chrestomanci, #2)...
Fantasy books you can read instead of Harry Potter
JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.
Doorways to Other Worlds
Portal fantasy (middle grade through adult lit with maybe some sci-fi too).
Because sometimes you just want to read about characters literally escaping their world or temporarily exploring other ones since you’re stuck here.
(Please note: series will only contain the earliest applicable volume even if more/all are the same to avoid clutter. Also, open to recs!)
