Basically as the title says, I’m looking for some really intriguing and amazing fantasy series’ that I can get lost in for a few days to a week or more. Think of things like: LOTR, Shadowhunters, Leigh Bardugo’ Grishaverse, etc. I never read shadowhunters but I’ve watched the show and enjoyed it, and my older sister also enjoyed the books. I adore LOTR, so I suppose the main thing I’m looking for is something similar to that. And I adore the Grishaverse.
No dark romances please, especially not the super super dark ones. I don’t mind if it’s slightly morally grey but there’s a fine line between morally grey and abusive and most dark romances don’t know the difference imo. I don’t mind smut, or romance, but I prefer the main point to be the plot and not the romance.
Thankyou in advance :]

Look at the Brandon Sanderson books.
Or If you want a really long series that will take you the better part of a year to finish, try Malazan Book of the Fallen. It’s incredible, once you get the hang of the writing style and tons of names.
– Farseer by Robin Hobb if you want something more mature. Amazing series and also completely finished, so no worry about the author not finishing her work. The first book is called Assassin’s Apprentice, there are 16 books in total, but split into 5 sub-series.
– Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson if you want something a bit more fantastical (running on the walls action, bit more sass and humour, etc). The fifth book just got released which I believe wraps a lot of the storylines up, even if another 5 are also planned. I’ve only read the first 2 yet but enjoyed them.
The wheel of time series by Robert Jordan
The last few books were completed by Brandon Sanderson after his death. Unpopular opinion but I don’t like Sanderson’s writing style but the series is phenomenal.
The Memory Sorrow and Thorn trilogy by Tad Williams
