As the title suggests, im looking for suggestions or recommendations for which series I should use to open the doors into the fantasy universe.
After a barren spell of no reading in my 20s I have now become entirely consumed by reading again as of October and have been having an absolute blast!
So far in terms of “fantasy” I have read;
Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman (4.5/5)
The Six of Crows Duology by Leigh Bardugo (4.5/5)
Season of Fear by Emily Cooper (4/5)
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (3/5)
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke (3/5)
And the only fantasy series I have tackled is the Gael Song Trilogy by Shauna Lawless (4/5) as I thought it would be a nice introduction to more epic scale fantasy that I’m really eager to tackle further down the line!
And on my shelf I currently have the full collection or the first book in the following series;
The Faithful and the Fallen by John Gwynne
The Bloodsworn Saga by John Gwynne
The Dark Tower by Stephen King
Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown
Covenant of Steel by Anthony Ryan
Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb
The Tide Child by RJ Barker
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
Would be very grateful for any help or feedback you knowledgeable folk would have in helping me decide what would be the best series to become more well acquainted with fantasy on an epic scale!

If you liked The Dark Tower and Mistborn, the next best series would be The Stormlight Archive. At least this was the case for me. After finishing The Dark Tower, I was in a slump until I read Mistborn, and I was in another slump until Stormlight Archive. I just finished Wind and Truth, and am afraid I’m about to get in another slump….
The Lies of Locke Lamorah.
Edit:. This is an easy and fun read.
