What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

So this was actually a series recommended to me on a date. The series sounded great - he said if I liked murderbot, I'd like these books. But alas, I didn't think to ask him for the series again before telling him I wasn't interested in a second date. Now it's awkward...
So, 12 book series, sci fi fantasy, he described it as wizards in space.

Wizards in Space: Sampler, Volume 1 as a starter?

Imagine a world in which medieval wizardry not only flourished, but created a level of technological progress akin to what we see in classic sci-fi. Here, wizards take to the stars and explore the universe in enchanted starships crewed by sorcerers, witches, and all sorts of fantastical creatures.

You have in your hands an introduction to the lavish Wizards in Space StoryVerse™, a collaborative story world in which multiple authors have woven their collective genius into something amazing.

Voyages of the Ivory Scepter, Episode 1: Bildenploy's Gambit, by Eugene Morgulis

Quest for the Wholly Pale, Episode 1: Emrys Meets An Old One, by Leenna Naidoo

Chaos Theory, Episode 1: Murphy's Law, by Vivian Belenky

My Fair Dragon, Episode 1: Pinocchio, by Camille Kietzman

The The Bildenploy Gambit sounds almost like an incantation. I have a feeling it's going to be something between Game of Thrones and Faunus and smth like https://dubibet-201.com/ . Has anyone read it yet? Is it worth starting with it?

I'd say it's closer to Dune with wizards. The pace is slow, but the world building is cool

Could it be Starship's mage series by Glynn Stewart?

Christopher Stasheff's Warlock series? That has 12 books.

Start with The Warlock in Spite of Himself though, it'll give you a better idea of the series than the prequel will.

Young Wizards series by Diane Diane?

Probably a stretch, but how about Galaxy Outlaws: The Complete Black Ocean Mobius Missions?
