I'm trying to read more fantasy and I really like a medieval setting with deeply detailed lore/stories with intrigue involved. I already have the bookset for ASOIAF, the Wheel of Time and I'm planning to start Malazan soon, for reference. Any suggestions are welcome!

The Stormlight Archive is the most obvious missing series. Also, check out *The Pillars of the Earth* by Ken Follett. The plot summary seems bland, but the books are A+ and pull no punches.
The Dragonbone Chair, by Tad Williams
The Wandering Inn has really good worldbuilding, especially later in the series.
Reading Empire of the Vampire and there’s tons of lore, feels a lot like ASOIAF lore but with more detail and a Bloodborne flare.
Michelle West’s Chronicles of Essalieyan.
I was going to recommend the Malazan novels, but it looks like you’re already familiar with them.
