So it seems like fantasy should be easiest genre to find a book of, but yet here I am struggling.
After reading through Dresden Files I need something that IS NOT Urban fantasy
To be honest, I don't want it to be steampunk, rennessaince, Napoleonic either
If it is possible recommend series with worlds that are not pastiche/copy of real life countries. The more unique setting, society, government, the better.
A big Red flag is if world contains Roman Empire with serial numbers scratched off. So senates, legions, latine language are disqualiffying.
What I am looking for?
Interesting magic systems that are not too weird
Combat, action
Interesting intelligent species/races and monsters
Plot that will grip me and make me want antagonist to die
I am interested only in stand alone books or finished series
I read Malazan (loved it), First Law, Realm of Elderlings, ASOIAF and some other popular books I can't remember right now.
I tried to read Sanderson and Discworld and didn't like it so please do not recommend them
Edit: mentioned Discworld
