Need a new read, any good fantasy recommandations?
Finished Wheel of Time, Stormlight and kingkiller chronicle among others. Would prefer something else than Sanderson as his books often follow a general formula
>>
Try the Malazan Book of the Fallen series - if you're the kind of person who was able to finish the WoT it should appeal to you, it's a very long series but incredibly well detailed and developed, to the extent it could very well be a history of a fantastical world more than just a fantasy series.

Tried gardens of the moon but didnt get into it (several years ago and didnt read too much of it). Does it get more interesting further in the book/serie?
>>
>>8347158
Already read and it follows the general Sanderson formula. Enjoyed it alot tho
>>
>>8347159
Yeah. it definitely does.

It took me 2 or 3 tries to get past Gardens of the Moon myself, but now I consider it to be my favourite fantasy series.

If you're looking for less of an investment though, try Abecrombie's First Law trilogy for a much darker but also very gripping series, or the Greatcoats series which has a kingkiller esque protagonist who is good at everything, but it still very good regardless.

Guess i might give Malazans a second try.
Any more spoiler free info on Abecrombie's trilogy? Most of what ive read so far wouldnt really be called dark at all.
Geatcoats would be eventually. While i enjoy kingkiller (mostly) the sort of "good at everything" character is something that ticks me off

the crystal shard :^)

I read the original trilogy but the ending left such a bad taste in my mouth I didn't want to read the sequels. Good series though, but I remember there being quite a few plot holes.

>>8347087
You haven't mentioned it, so I'll double check. Have you read Game of Thrones?
>>
>>8347563
Ive read the first but ive also seen the show so not sure id enjoy that as much as something new
>>
>>8347575
The show and book begin to diverge a lot after the first book/first season
