might be the Traitor Son Cycle by Miles Cameron could fit the parameters. Though it starts with a fairly narrow scope, it expands massively in the following books.
Are there any worthy inheritor(s) to the depth and scope of Malazan? aka looking for fantasy as good as MBotF

I`ve been saying the same, and so have others earlier in the thread. Finished it the other day, andon the whole I found it satisfying - but also several annoyances, for example the rather rushed ending, and also the poorly defined and explained ascendancy - I forget what it was called in the book. So that is similar to MBotF.
I find few series manage to pull so large a scope, and quite a few series start off as shorter and then they add «oh, here`s a bigger, badder guy» with three more books - looking at you, Raymond E Feist and Terry Brooks. Few authors have an idea from the very beginning what they want to do, or at least few manage to convince their publishers.
Anyway, I think that is why there are so few recommendations in this thread, and so many repeated suggestions. Og, and as others have sand, R Scott Bakker’s 2nd apocalypse is great.
