Best Magic School Fantasy Books

There are thousands of fantasy settings. Entirely different universes, alternate histories, and different realities. However, where magic is concerned, education is always vital, and that makes for some hugely satisfying developments.

The school environment allows for incredible, character-driven narratives, throwing a group of young people in one space and forcing them to get on. It breeds the same conflicts that children see every day and gives groups of friends the power to overcome them.

Despite this, there’s often something for older readers. Dark, outside influences often place great tensions on the confined environments, showing glimpses of the huge world outside. It’s a formula that attracts millions, and this list should be more than enough to convince you to join them.
