I am currently reading The Stormlight Archive and while I am really enjoying it, I have found that it doesn't quite scratch an itch. They are fun and fairly easy to read and at time feel like watching a popcorn flick. I have torn through the first three books and will start Rhythm of War sometime in the near future, but for now I am taking a break and I guess I am looking for something of the opposite of this series.
I am wanting something dark and grimy (without it being being edgy or dark just for the sake of being dark, if that makes sense), violent at times, memorable characters and good dialogue, allegiances and betrayals. A book or series that I could dive into and be immersed in the world and characters. I guess something like A song of Ice and Fire or the Game of Thrones/House of Dragon tv shows.
It doesn't have to necessarily be a completed series, but if it isn't completed at least the author is activity working on it.
I also know that the title says Fantasy, but Sci-fi is okay too or something Fantasy adjacent. I am not super strict on labels lol
