The Outlaw Empire by Nicholas Eames is supposedly releasing this year, so I need something chunky to fill the gap. I’ve gone through Abercrombie and Lawrence as you might expect, and yes I have read the hell out of The Expanse. I don’t want to start Game of Thrones until I know there is a last book :P

Anyone have any suggestions that might scratch the itch?

    It depends on what about grimdark appeals to you.

    For ultraviolence: Acts of Caine by Matt Stover, especially the first book. Though this is maybe sci-fi?

    For snobbery hoity toity book club cred: Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe

    For ultimate chunk: The Malazan Cycle by Steven Erikson. I recommend reading with a wiki open. It’s worth the struggle, but it IS a struggle to get started.

      My word, ‘ultimate chunk’ appears to have been an understatement! Gonna have a go at at Gardens of the Moon - thanks :)
