Fantasy for non-fantasy fans

[innocentize]

As a kid, I really liked Harry Potter, Worst Witch, Magic Faraway Tree etc - all the obvious ones. I really want to find that enjoyment of fantasy as an adult.

I know there’s a lot of adult fantasy but it often seems to be quite romance/historical based, lots of complex worlds and systems. Is there anything which is more like ‘normal person sudd let immersed in fantasy world’ in the same way Harry Potter or magic faraway tree are, but for adults?

There are a lot of kids (often called middle grade) fantasy books which are creative but not too complex, I enjoyed the Skandar series by A F Steadman.

I'm the same. Rarely read fantasy as I don't think it's my thing, despite loving HP and LotR.

Recently read This Kingdom will not Kill Me and loved it. By Ilona Andrews. About a woman who wakes up in the world of her favourite novels. She knows what is meant to happen and tries to change the future. I'm looking forward to the second in the series.
