'Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn' by Tad Williams ( trilogy)

'Magician' Series by Raymond E Fiest (6 books or more)

'Chronicles of Thomas Covenant' (unbeliever series) by Stephen R Donldson (10 books)

If you can find it- 'The Gap Series' by Stephen R Donaldson (is sci-fi but effin amazing!!!!!!!!)

'Runelords' Series by David Farland is hella-cool too(4 books&more)

'The Briar King' by Greg Keyes is awesome (is a series as well)

Since you're in Europe, you may have had Nick Perumov's "Chronicles of the Rift" series translated in your language. Try that, as it's the closest thing I found to Malaz.

There's a "set-up" semi-related set of books (calling it a trilogy is a bit too generous) called "chronicles of Hjorward". Check out Book 1, "Godsdoom". It's about as awesome + confusing as GotM.
The Chronicles proper starts with a (usually published in 2 volumes) "Wooden Sword, Diamond Sword", which is a great stand-alone epic fantasy read. Then it moves into "Keeper of the Swords" cycle (first book, "the birth of the Mage", which basically follows 1 of the main characters from "Wooden Sword, Diamond Sword", and then by the end of the second "Keeper of the Swords" book, it starts to refer back to other characters, and then occasional storylines from "Chronicles of Hjorward" and "Wooden Sword, Diamond Sword". It sounds complicated, but it's awesome if you don't want your fantasy to be a simple "good v. Evil" type story. And it all works in the end, no matter how convoluted it may seem to get. I cannot recommend it highly enough

unfortunately no
I was wondering why it is not more popular, then I found out its not translated to english either
only book translated to Czech is called something like "Bad time for dragons" (coop with another guy)
sounds awesome

[Mentalist]

"Not a time for Dragons" is co-authored with Sergey Lukyanenko (the guy who wrote the urban fantasy blockbuster series "Night Watch").

It's a pretty neat book, but nothing super-groundbreaking. Some cool twists in the story, but characterization was a bit flat, from what I recall.

Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I read a couple of the short stories again recently ('The Sea and Little Fishes' is just perfect) and I'm looking forward to life settling down so I can actually have a permanent bookshelf again, and be in a position to reread all my coveted Discworld novels in a row!

Reading Discworld in peace. One of the finer pleasure sof life...

Hello, I have been reading this thread from months ago and was surprised Gene Wolfe's "The Book of the new Sun" was not mentioned., or I missed it. Anyways, I have the impression you might enjoy this series. The story follows Severian , an apprentice Torturer. The story takes Severian through his world and through his mind. I am not gifted to give able review all I can say is that Gene Wolfe writes an original story, in an original environment. It's dark and it's vivid. Perhaps another could fill you in more.

the fantasy series that got me to begin reading books in the first place was Deepgate Codex Trilogy by Alan Campbell.

Having read many books since then, including MBotF and GoT, it's still my favorite. God of Clocks and Scar Night particularly are amazing, he's an underrated writer.
