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

The Gandalara Cycle by Randall Garrett & Vicki Ann Heydron is a fun one (available digitally on Amazon). It's a product of its time (soft misogyny comes to mind) but I don't remember anything drastically awful. Escapist fantasy.

The worldbuilding is deft, the stakes ramp up from book to book, and the story unfolds nicely to the Big Reveal in the last book. It's a quick read. Plus: giant telepathic cats.
