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

Here's what I've read so far.

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.

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.
