Thanks for that rec. I'll definitely check it out. I realize that most of my fantasy reading has been much more modern authors even though I've read through most of Tolkien (still intimidated by The Silmarillion) and most of The Shannara Chronicles worth reading.

The sci/fantasy thread on here is good for that, but based on your likes a cut and paste from my post on the first page of that thread:
Nicholas Eames- the Band series
Michael J Sullivan- Riyria series
Miles Cameron- Traitor Son Cycle
Alec Hutson- The Crimson Queen series
Brent Weeks- Nightangel and Lightbringer series
Matthew Woodring Stover- Acts of Caine series
Mark Lawrence- Broken Empire, Red Queen's War series
Brian McClellan- Powder Mage series
Django Wexler- Shadow Campaigns series
Brian Staveley- Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne
Rob J Hayes- everything
Sebastian de Castell- The Greatcoats series and spellslinger series
David A Wells- Sovereign of the seven isles series
Will Wight- Cradle series
Peter Flannery- Battle Mage
M L Wang- the sword of Kaigen
Fonda Lee-Greenbone saga
Rob J Hayes is basically Abercrombie light if you are looking for more in that vein.
Will Wight's Cradle series is like crack.
Also, I was waiting till Gwynne finished the bloodsworn saga to start that one, but I assume you've read his Faith and Fallen series and the follow-up trilogy? Cause they are both great.

It's like reading a textbook for pleasure. Not an easy read
But it is loaded with a ton of interesting stuff and does provide a bit of insight. At least by my recollection, I read way back, like 1978-1980 time frame.
