The Locked Tomb series is refreshing. It’s weird, it’s fun, it’s dark, and it’s trash, but it’s trash that the author is having fun with.
Discworld is also just amazing
Each of the novels is more detached than the last - it's great but probably not for someone just starting their journey into fiction
Fair, I’d probably recommend starting with some Sanderson and discussions of his theming and subtler meanings. Once you’re breaking down symbolism in Stormlight as you read it then you may be ready for Professor Muir throwing mean girl’s references into stressful scenes before making you feel like you lost your mind in between trips to the dictionary. But she breaks your mind in such a satisfying way.
