Malazan Books of the Fallen have a ton of violence and excellent worldbuilding, it can be confusing at times though because a few of the books cover the same time but on different continents. I'm on my second read and I find I pick up on a lot more things since I know which characters and events they refer to. There are also a few books that tie in to the main story but I haven't checked those yet, the main series is ten huge books already.

i wanna get into these but im getting burned out on all these series

im looking for fantasy novels that just stand solo as a great story and do not continue on anywhere

when i started name of the wind 2 years ago i thought by the time i read 1800 pages and put some other books in between here and there, rothfuss would have released the 3rd and final story

U gotta fight through it breh, it starts off slow but once it gets going

Malazan is top 5/top 10 once u figure out where everyone is the fights amd convergences in that book are some of the best I've ever read

Shouldn't be too bad cuz he splits the books up into groups of characters just like GRRM

man like pat rothfuss just signed a movie/board game/video game deal worth millions that book won't see the light of day for 6 years

my boy called the first book Name of the Friend simpin over a known hooker

but when he rolls into the fae and then smashes some adem he made it

real shyt, as long as GRRM keeps fakin like this, brehs should recommend more series and novels that ASOIAF fans would fukk with. i know there's a huge reddit discussion on this, but fukk them

I know, Quick Ben would just release some warrens on those fools
I never went beyond the main ten books though, I know Erikson got some more out there which I'll propably cop in the near future, not sure about the books by the other dude though, are they worth it? I know they deal with things like the Wickan war and those two necromancers that come along in Memories of Ice so I am curious, I just don't want to find out he doesn't have Eriksonns skills
