Pern might appeal.

Martha Wells. 'Death of the Necromancer' is a stand alone. Thief and his actress mistress are on a course of vengeance, get side tracked by evil. 'The Wizard Hunters' is the first book of a follow up trilogy featuring their daughter. First book is 1890's tech plus magic, and the trilogy is WW1 level tech. Airships and ocean liners.

The Riftwar Saga! Such a fun series that is criminally under-appreciated.

The Gandalara Cycle by Randall Garrett & Vicki Ann Heydron is a fun one (available digitally on Amazon). It's a product of its time (soft misogyny comes to mind) but I don't remember anything drastically awful. Escapist fantasy.

The worldbuilding is deft, the stakes ramp up from book to book, and the story unfolds nicely to the Big Reveal in the last book. It's a quick read. Plus: giant telepathic cats.

You will be offended for your entire life if you can't separate art from artist
