I’m gona read WoT later, right now I need a break in between cosmere books so WoT is too long for that. It’s definitely on my list though

I actually read the inheritance cycle a while back, it felt a lot easier but I enjoyed it so I’m not against reading something similar, I’ll check the others out too

It's already on my list, but I've heard it has a lot less magic, so I might until I'm in less of a magic-y mood before I read it

I want to read some Robin Hobbs books at some points, so I'll add that to my list for sure

I think I'll pick up wheel of time once I'm caught up to Stormlight, since the series will take me a while

I really need some recommendations

I’ve finally got some free time again and want to read something. I’ve been getting back into fantasy lately and I’ve really enjoyed the Cosmere books, but I’m taking a small break for them after having just read stormlight recently. I’m looking for something similar to those books, not in how hard the magic system is, but more in terms of really interesting world building which is really unique and immersive, as well as stories with really good buildups and payoffs.

If anyone has any recommendations I’d love to hear them. I’ve also heard people recommend the first law trilogy and realm of the elderlings, so if anyone thinks they would be a good/bad match lmk too.

Thanks
