I was a fan of The Gunslinger and may eventually continue the dark tower series, but there’s a section of that book I really enjoyed and would love to find more with a similar vibe.
What I liked the most were all the flashback sections, within the walled cities that the main character was growing up in. It had a bit of a medieval vibe I guess, but I just enjoyed the world building of the society, the cooks working in the kitchen, going to see hanging on the hill and the duel between him and his trainer.
I guess I want a sort of coming of age medieval story that doesn’t necessarily have to have magic involved. Not looking for YA stuff.
I know a lot of fantasy/sci-fi books can be dense with many plotlines and characters going on. Ideally this would be a pretty straightforward story following one character’s journey mostly
thanks in advance

Between Two Fires may be just what you are looking for? I loved it and was reminded of it when reading that part of Gunslinger.
