Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson

4.0

This is the Grimdark fantasy series you are looking for. It checks all the boxes you want in a grimdark book, with a fascinating world that does truly feel unique in the fantasy realm. Does anything happening make sense yet? No. Do I feel like I have a good grasp of the world after 2 books into the series? Yeah not really. But if you want something that you can go down a rabbit hole with and you want to commit lots of time and effort to a story, this is the series for you. 

These books are complex. I very much recommend using the wiki's chapter by chapter synopsis as you are reading or this PowerPoint from https://twitter.com/SonAnomander

It may sound silly but I have missed a lot of things that I did not realize until I checked the powerpoint. I was following along as I finished a chapter.
