Grimdark/low-fantasy recommendations needed to fill a gap
Grimdark/low-fantasy recommendations needed to fill a gap
The Outlaw Empire by Nicholas Eames is supposedly releasing this year, so I need something chunky to fill the gap. I’ve gone through Abercrombie and Lawrence as you might expect, and yes I have read the hell out of The Expanse. I don’t want to start Game of Thrones until I know there is a last book :P
Anyone have any suggestions that might scratch the itch?

It depends on what about grimdark appeals to you.
For ultraviolence: Acts of Caine by Matt Stover, especially the first book. Though this is maybe sci-fi?
For snobbery hoity toity book club cred: Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe
For ultimate chunk: The Malazan Cycle by Steven Erikson. I recommend reading with a wiki open. It's worth the struggle, but it IS a struggle to get started.
My word, ‘ultimate chunk’ appears to have been an understatement! Gonna have a go at at Gardens of the Moon - thanks :)
