Can Anyone Recommend me Magic/Superhero School or Guild Stories?

Here’s what I’ve read so far.

  1. Worm by Wildbow (Superhero “guild”)

  2. Mage Errant (Magic School)

  3. Harry Potter Series (Magic School)

  4. Vita Nostra (Magic School)

  5. Super Powereds (Superhero School)

  6. The Circle Series by Sara Elfgren (Magic within normal School)


I’ve also read The Magician but I didn’t liked it.

I may have forgotten some other books but hopefully this narrows it down.

Forgot to add, I’d be happier if it’s a complete series.

A few off the top of my head:

  • The Reckoners series by Sanderson (organized evil superheros, completed series)
  • scholomance series by novik (magic school, unfinished)
  • The Kingkiller Chronicle by Rothfuss (magic school, unfinished and probably never will be, but excellent)
  • Scythe by Shusterman (guild of death kind of thing. More scifi, but has the vibe I think you’re going for.)
  • Rangers Apprentice series by Flanagan (no magic, but guild of rangers with bows. Similar vibe to some of what you listed as well.)

The Kingkiller Chronicle by Rothfuss (magic school, **unfinished **and probably never will be, but excellent)

Wait it’s unfinished? I thought it was a trilogy. It even had some side stories.

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll proobably look at The Reckoners.

It is, but book three hasn’t released, and probably never will. :(

He released a few novellas and stuff, but “Doors of Stone” is in development hell unfortunately.

Novik’s Scholomance is finished, and was a pretty fun read. It was a very unique take on magic school.

Bit of a stretch, but Rick Riordan’s mythology books (Percy Jackson and its sequels/spinoffs) tend to involve magic school-type settings.

Way back, I believe I read the first 10 books of Percy Jackson + Jason. I liked it, I don’t know why I dropped it in the end. (or maybe the latter books weren’t released yet because this was in 2013).

Thanks for the suggestion thoug.

IIRC, Trials of Apollo went from 2015-2020, so the timelines do add up. He’s also done similar books for Egyptian and Norse mythology (Kane Chronicles and Magnis Chase)

It’s only one book, but in my childhood I read Wizard’s Hall by Jane Yolen, which takes place in a magical school.
