Looking for books where the protagonist goes to magic school like Harry Potter, KingKiller.

 

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik and its sequels are solid.

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo is fantastic although a bit different. Yales society's are used, with a 9th society that basically keeps the others in check.

I re-recommend A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik. If you have a heart and half an ear it will leave your soul tender.

 

Mother of Learning by Domagoj Kurmaić is definitely worth a read - a mix of magic school, time travel and progression fantasy.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Worst_Witch :

The Worst Witch is a series of children's books written and illustrated by Jill Murphy. The series are primarily about a girl who attends a witch school and fantasy stories, with eight books published. The first, The Worst Witch, was published in 1974 by Allison & Busby,[1] and the most recent, First Prize for the Worst Witch, was published in 2018 by Puffin Books, the current publisher of the series. The books have become some of the most successful titles on the Young Puffin paperback list and have sold more than 5 million copies.[2][3]

(There was a book I was trying to find about a wizard school that is sometimes called an antecedent of Harry Potter. I don't think the above is it, but it's a start).

 

I've meaning to post a review about Azalea Ellis' ongoing serial "A Practical Guide to Sorcery", but I don't have a lot of time these days to do it according to DLP standards.

Borrows heavily from "The Name of the Wind": sciencey magic university, prodigy lead, gang wars, 18-19th century magic-based tech and society, etc. Chapters describing magic lessons are hit or miss, sometimes they go into too much detail and start reading like academic texts, which kills the narrative and are not that relevant to worldbuilding and providing the lead with tools to solve plot situations later on. But there are a lot of good things there: worldbuilding, action, comedy, characterization... 4/5 from me. Also published at Royal Road, a few chapters behind.

 

The OP's been banned ik, but Babel's a good shout I think. It's set in 18th century Oxford and explores colonialism through the lens of an immigrant from China who's attending what amounts to a magical university. The book is extremely well written, though it can get a little bit preachy at times.

 

Someone recommended The Millenial Mage to me. I haven't read it yet but the blurb looks ok. I was able to download it with fanficfare but have no idea if and when I'll get around to looking at it more. It is long, around 700k words according to the header, 205 chapters so far and still WIP.

Millennial Mage does not feature a magic school arc, it's a decent slice of lifey magic story but its pacing is very slow and its only just beginning to have actual conflict or plot.

On the recommendation Side the Mage Errant series is one of my favorite book series recently and it features the protagonists attending a magic school.
