What are some book series like Harry Potter [quaint, pleasant, deep lore] but less childish and bigoted? (lemmy.world)

Unsure about quaint but Discworld is absolutely pleasant and grows a delightful lore around itself. General advice is skip the first two (Pratchett was just figuring it out) and come back to them when you already love Rincewind.

Second vote for Discworld

Guards! Guards!

Mort

Wyrd Sisters

Are all good places to start.

Small Gods is my goto reccomendation for starting points, it's completely self contained and one of Pratchett's best works

That's a good thought on starting points.

Second Small Gods. It's my favourite discworld book (even though I love the whole series).
