Looking for some deep cut fantasy (book) series recommendations for this long holiday weekend. I've read most of the obvious candidates so am looking for titles you love, but think are under-loved!

1. daniel abraham's long price quartet, criminally underrated

alright, alright, here's a thing that's not fucked up: if you're in the mood for fantasy but, like, good, read daniel abraham's long price quartet. it's 4 books spaced 14 years apart and you get to see characters go from being young hotheads to old parents, it's awesome

2. daniel abraham's dagger and the coin, somewhat awkward but has a lot of really cool interesting ideas, takes awhile for things to build up

daniel abraham wrote another series i like a lot called the dagger and the coin which i am probably going to reread next. everything that's cool about this series is a spoiler unfortunately

3, 4. peter brett's demon cycle and n.k. jemisin's hundred thousand kingdoms

Replying to @quotidiania
i had exactly this question and went on a long fantasy binge after reading kingkiller looking for my next fix. nothing was 100% satisfying but some stuff i ran into that i liked:
- peter brett’s demon cycle
- n.k. jemisin’s inheritance trilogy (not eragon)
5. jacqueline carey's kushiel's legacy. lots of sex, really heartwarming. a few scenes from this series are lodged deeply inside me

I should have just tagged you because I had a gut instinct you'd come through on this q! Of these I have only read The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms

how'd you like it? if you loved it i think the kushiel series is probably the most similar in flavor (but still not that similar all things considered)
