IJustWentPsychoFun Fantasy series with immense worldbuilding and great characters?
Wheel of Time doesn’t really fit “recent,” but still fantastic.
Way of Kings is great. Codex Alera is a fun read as well
Jim butcher is great the Dresden files were fantastic. I have codex alera haven’t read it yet.
I read a few of the Dresden Files, pretty solid books. I really enjoyed Codex Alera.
Another few suggestions: the Lightbringer series and the Night Angel series by Brent Weeks.
Mistborn is great as well.
I’ve read all of Dresden and just started codex 3. Personally, while it’s a different genre, his codex books are written Much better Imo. It’s worth a read
I’m in the middle of dragonbone chair. The codex books are next.
+1 on the way of kings
Great book, great series
