Robin Hobb is my favourite author. I really miss the Fool, if anyone has a series with a character like him.
I also like Abercrombie, Dave Duncan, Sebastien De Castell, Brandon Sanderson, Brent Weeks, Rothfuss…
I like friendship, assassins, spies, double agents, magic systems, parent child relationships. I like darker, more complex characters, and not the bland Harry Potter/Frodo type good guy characters.
I don't like a lot of sex or romance. I HATED the Outlander series. I didn't really like the Wheel of Time.
