The Magicians
Another portal fantasy that gets darker and more adult, and asks what magic costs.
-
A Wizard of Earthsea
A calmer, more compact fantasy that grapples with the same idea of balance and death.
-
The Neverending Story
Another children's fantasy that grows into a much deeper meditation on imagination and loss.
