I'm wondering if there are any other books that have a similar vibe and prose to these series but that are written by another author other than Sanderson?
I really like the idea of non conventional fantasy worlds. I'm not into grim dark so please do recommend grim dark books such as asoiaf or things by Joe Abercrombie, or Malazan and the like. I prefer things that are more in the realm of darkness that mistborn and the storm light archive inhabit, which isn't too dark.
I don't necessarily need hard magic systems, I'm more interested in good action, unique worlds and world building.
I'm also interested in stories that feature gay male characters but this is not at all a must. Just a bonus.
Thanks 🙂

The Lightbringer Series by Brent Weeks!
It’s a unique world w/ a magic system based on light & colors, lots of action, intrigue, and complex characters. World-building is intricate without being overwhelming, and the tone balances darkness and hope beautifully
Try John Gwynne books. He has three series – “The faithful and the fallen” (4 books) and “Of blood and bone” (3 books). These two are set in the same universe. The seconds series takes place after the first, but they can be read as separate series. He also has “Bloodsworn saga” series. The third book will be published next month
