Hi!! I'm looking for some Dark Fantasy boooks/series recommendations. I became a dark fantasy fan because of Dark Souls so if any books you can think of have those vibes that'd be great!
These are the things I like:
-Multiple povs with intertwining story
-Some mystery and fantasy horror elements. Though I don't need to the book to be full horror
-Morally grey characters, I don't really like clear good guys vs evil guys
-Weird, dark and gothic settings and creatures
-no YA
I've read the first book of The First Law and a bit of the second, but I didn't like it because it felt like it had no plot. The character work was good though.
I'm not very interested in Berserk.
I'm reading through Malazan (just finished book 2) and it's quite good but not really scratching that itch, the settings feel too mundane. Lots of plains, grassland, and desert with the occasional abstract warren.

Once again, the Black Company series by Glen Cook. I’ve probably recommended it three times in a row by now.
Anne Bishop Black Jewels series (trigger warning)
