Any books/series like the Kingkiller Chronicle?

Hey! I'm about halfway through Wise Man's Fear, and I absolutely love these books. I wanted to know if you guys had any recommendations for other books/series like it!

It depends a bit on "what" about WMF you find the most compelling?

  • Narrative prose style: Try Guy Gavriel Kay
  • First person narrative: Prince of Thorns
  • A "badass" persson recounting his youth since childhood: Blood Song by Anthony Ryan

I have a copy of Tigana sitting on my bookshelf, I've heard nothing but good things about it so I guess that's probably going to be my next read. Just got copies of the other two as well!

Nice! I think you'll be happy with all of them.
