Recs if you like Higher Magic...

books featuring or set in magic schools / universities / academies, aka, one of the best subgenres in existence !

this list has books for all ages (am actively looking for more adult options), most of the books are dark academia, and ALL of them are fantastical 🪄 recs welcome <3

(alternatively, books to fall in love with & share with others to help avoid supporting or promoting JKR. i will never shut up ab how the Nevermoor series deserves the popularity that Harry Potter enjoys !)

Sci fi, fantasy, and science fantasy books featuring protagonists who are dealing with mental health issues, and/or are neurodiverse in some way - maybe on the autism spectrum, or having ADHD, schizophrenia, OCD, synesthesia, bipolar disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, etc. Suggestions very welcome!

canon and coded autistic characters
