Some similar things in my mental graph include Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard series and Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles.

I'm unsure I'd recommend everything on the list of stuff I read this year, but there might be some stuff you'll enjoy!

Lynch ... Rothfuss

I would recommend waiting another 20 years, to see if they manage to actually publish the next book in the series. It's been, what, 10? 15 years?

To be fair to them, this is coming off recommendations based on The Cosmere which has an almost infinite amount of content still to come 😅

(Though obviously there'll be more available to read overall)

In any case, the books are good enough that I recommend them to read despite them not having fully complete series.

I don't recommend Kingkiller to people anymore since we're clearly never getting the rest of it.
